That was a part of the reason. There was one situation in particular that Kent picked up on. For competitive reasons, I'm not going to say what it was. |
That was an extremely tough loss for our starting pitcher to absorb. You can't ask for much more than he did tonight. |
That was another terrific performance by Derek Lowe . You can't ask any more than what he has given us the past few starts. |
That was as good an at-bat as we've seen taken all year. |
That was his best outing. He threw four pitches for strikes and he pounded the strike zone. |
That was his game to determine. It was his baseball game at that point. You have to give him the opportunity to finish it. |
That was hit in the perfect spot and found it's way through the middle of the field. |
That will be a tremendous hit for Murfreesboro City Schools. |
That's a lot for nine innings, let alone five. He showed command, mixed his pitches, changed speeds -- there were a lot of positive signs. |
That's a tough game to lose, and obviously we're being tested early. |
That's an aggressive play, ... but as I said to him, when you're trailing in that situation and you would have had first and third with no outs, you have to be 100 percent sure that you make it. |
That's basically what it boiled down to. |
That's his game to determine at that point. You take him out of the game like that there, you bring in the bullpen and a mistake is made, a ball gets hit in the gap, and he's the pitcher of record in the losing decision, and he got to watch it on the other side of the dugout. I don't handle pitching that way. |
That's how people learn. That's our responsibility to make sure those things are taken care of. |
That's just how well that guy pitches. He just dominated the game. |
