(Batista) was missing with his cutter to the outer half (of the plate) and I thought that it was a good time to throw a fastball. He has so many good pitches and his ball has such life that we ended up getting the result we were looking for.
Being able to put somebody away with two strikes, that has just been the killer,
Even (Jay) Gibbons was saying as he came to the plate that he had never seen Tejada do that.
Even though we know we're much better on paper, we still have to prove it to ourselves.
He didn't have his command, that was pretty much the difference. It's not an easy role.
He moves the ball around the plate a lot and he's very deceptive. He's got four pitches he can throw any place in the count.
He started off pretty good and then the wheels just came off. I don't know. It may have been fatigue -- I don't know. We tried pretty much everything.
He's been a good guy and steady performer all year, just giving us one good start after another.
He's getting better every time and he's coming very quickly, ... Confidence is going to be a key thing for him down the road, but that will come as well. It's just a matter of time.
His fastball command was a lot better than it was the other day. He was just really aggressive. It's an attitude I'd like to see more of.
Holding a team like the Yankees to three runs, I'll take my chances any day.
Home run, base hit, whatever. It's just nice to contribute. It was really a nice moment for me to put us ahead. More importantly, getting a win in a game like that was big for us.
I don't know, ... I don't know if he'll make a good closer. I would say he has the stuff to make a good closer, but does he have the command? I don't know. That remains to be seen. The guy's been pitching for 10-plus years professionally and he always has a high walk total. I'm not sure that lends itself to the closer role.
I don't know, and I don't ask.
I don't think we're going to be satisfied with being a .500 ball club. Obviously we're not going to end up 20 or 30 games above, like a good team really would. There's still a chance that we could be in it right up to the end and there's a chance that if we're not, we could play spoiler. We all know we're better than a .500 club.
