Right now we're a little bit limited in the outfield with Dmitri not being able to play. |
Rock is a super individual. |
So many times when you think that way, you make a bad pitch. And those other teams that we play aren't missing them. Flat-out. They're not missing them. |
Somewhere after the All-Star break he started dropping down a little more, especially to the right-handed hitters. He has just been pitching lights-out. He's tough. There's no question about it. He was the story of the game tonight. |
Thank God you didn't do that to him, ... Your dog, maybe, but not your son. They would have picked on the poor kid. |
That first inning could have been something to get you going, ... But then it was, 'Ah! Here we go again.' |
That first inning was really a big inning. Dmitri smoked it. We couldn't hold 'em after that. |
That typifies how, when things aren't going well, how tough it can be. |
That was -- pick an adjective -- brilliant, outstanding. He was on the plate and he stayed ahead of the hitters. He's had seven outings for us, and six of them have been good ones, but this one might have been his best. |
That was a tough save right there, ... I mean -- nobody is going to go 1-2-3 all the time against guys like that. |
That's just the way things are going for us. We could have gotten a run out of it, but we wouldn't have gotten out of the double play. He tried to curl out of the tag and the umpire made the right call. |
That's the only way to do it because there's no magic dust for times like this. |
That's two out of three that he's done a good job. He has to keep the ball down. When he does that, he's much more effective. He's not overpowering. |
That's what you call a Little League home run. |
That's where pride comes in. Regardless of what happens, people are watching you. You're a professional -- that's the approach you have to take. |
