Taylor pitched very well. He pitched all his pitches very well, right at the strike zone. He got fatigued at the end and still managed to fight back in counts and get people out. |
Teams just don't get shut out nine times with one guy (starting), ... It just defies all senses we know in this game. It's like Catfish Hunter used to always say. 'It's not how you pitch. It's when you pitch.' |
Thank goodness for Adam Everett tonight. Some of those runs you fail to pick up could come back to haunt you, but Adam was cleaning it up all night long for us, and it turned out to be the difference in the game. |
That question is how much of the success is great managerial instincts? ... All of it. |
That tells the story, |
That tells the story. That seems to be our biggest problem. We hate seeing the bases loaded. Most teams love seeing the bases loaded with nobody out. We seem to have a little trouble with it. |

That was a big ballgame. Roy (Oswalt) hung tough for us, and Baggy came up real big. Emotionally and physically to give us a win like that, that was really good. |
That was a big blow, ... No question that when you're not bunching a bunch of hits together, then you need somebody to come through for you big. |

That was a great at-bat. You never know if that has anything to do with the next guy, but when a guy makes a bunch of pitches on you, and he nubs the ball to shortstop and he beats it out, I think it takes something out of you. You've got to applaud Willy for hanging tough in that at-bat. |
That was a surprise. We haven't seen that from Oswalt. He struggled with his command and just didn't look comfortable in that first inning. This is very much uncharacteristic of the way he's pitched. |
That's a good baseball play right there. Biggio was running hard out of the box going to second, so it creates a little diversion there, and Willy was coming hard the whole way. |
That's not a fluke, |
