The home run ball to Jason Lane was four inches off of the ground. It was a good pitch but he was able to put the bat on the ball, get it elevated and get it out. I might have been just a hair up in that inning but I was still aggressive in the strike zone. |
They are out for blood right now, ... They are playing as good as anybody in the big leagues. They are swinging the bats. They are playing good defense. They just beat us. |
Things are going well. I can't complain, ... I used all of my pitches and I'm very pleased with the results. |
This is baseball. It's a game that will pick you up and it's a game that will put you down too. It's what I love about this game. I can come out in five days and throw a gem. You just have to have a [short] memory. I've learned that. |
Today I learned a lot, |
Try to keep our bats quiet, ... and sooner or later, we're going to get you. |

When mistakes are made, there's nothing you can do about it. I'm just glad we limited that inning to only one run. It was one of those innings that really could have got out of hand. We had some damage control. |
Yesterday was a tough loss. What can you do? We played a good game. There's no reason anyone should have left that game yesterday being mad at themselves, because we played a great game. But it is nice to come back today and put runs on the board to beat a team. |
