He just didn't make good pitches, plain and simple. |
He was outstanding. He threw strikes, he forced contact and he was on top of his game. I think we'll expect more starts out of him before the year's out. |
He wasn't over-throwing like he was last week and we needed him to do just. To go seven innings and put up all zeros, you couldn't ask for a better way to get your first win after all he's been through. |
He'll probably become more successful, make more money than any of us, coaches included, because of the type of kid he is. |
He's a crucial guy. He's one of those guys you realize quickly what he does for you, particularly defensively. We've had plenty of injuries and this is one we'll have to deal with. Guys in his place will have to step up. |
He's able to forget when he has a bad outing. |
He's been able to perform like we knew he was capable all along with an injury-free year. Knock on wood. |
He's been huge for us with his run production. |
He's been our emotional leader since he's been here. |
He's been the epitome of a team guy. |
He's been the heart and soul of our club. |
He's better, but looks thinner. But he swung (the bat) well. |
He's got to swing better than he's swinging, that's for sure. |
His key is getting strike one. If he's able to get ahead of a hitter, it really puts the hitter on the defensive. When he doesn't get ahead, sometimes he has to come in with his fastball, which frankly, is his third pitch. |
His pitch count was low, but that last inning, he was a little gassed. |
