Some of it has to do with the fact that we have a strikeout pitching staff. I always liked my teams at the top of the league in defense and double plays. Any time you can get two outs on one pitch, it's a lot less pitches for your pitchers. A lot of times, it gets you out of the inning out of trouble. |
Some people get better looking as they get older. Maybe he's one of those guys. |
Sometimes change is good, ... Sometimes change is good for everybody involved. |
Sometimes he gets overly creative. When you're young, you're going to try stuff. |
Sometimes he has great command of the strike zone, and the next time ... It's a matter of being more consistent. He is throwing the ball good. |
Sometimes when you're 40 years old, it taps you on the shoulder and it's time to get out. |
Stealing isn't just speed. Most of it is knowing the pitcher and knowing what a guy does. He might dip his head before he goes to the plate or he might drop his hands slightly before he goes to the plate or his feet are narrow when he goes to first or he might slide-step. |
That first inning has cost him a lot of pitches. He's been throwing so many pitches the last three starts, that's why we took him out. After the first inning, he started throwing the ball better. He had a lot of deep counts, a lot of 3-2 counts. Those pitches mount up. |
That makes it sound like somebody's lying. I went through that a couple years ago, which was [untrue] at the time, and [I'm not] going through that. I've never been accused of that. I don't know if [Walker] was accusing me, but it was kind of general. You need to be more specific and you need to address that person, man to man. That's how I like to treat guys and how I appreciate being treated in return. |
That one inning when Will came in, he got two outs, nobody on base and then he walked a couple guys, and you can't walk guys late, |
That was a well-executed cutoff -- that was a very athletic play by Corey, ... That ball was hit into the gap and you could tell they were going to send [Gipson] by the way that ball was off-center. It was a perfect hop and a perfect tag by Henry. |
That was great pitching from both sides. |
That was great pitching from both sides. You know Harden is one of the top young pitchers in the American League. We had a couple guys out there who were dealing. |
That was huge tonight, to get back to 2-2. We definitely wanted and needed the game tonight to start the Series all over again. We certainly didn't want to go down 3-1 then have to win three in a row. |
That's a good time to talk to people. They're usually loose. |
