He pitched an outstanding game. We just couldn't score enough runs for him to win. |
He pitched two innings in relief in Toronto, so we're not expecting 120 pitches from him. But we haven't set a firm pitch count for him yet. We will before he pitches, but I'd love to see four or five innings from him. |
He pretty much kept a good-hitting ballclub off-balance all night. We've seen him getting stronger and stronger and getting more confidence in himself. His last four or five outings, each one has been just a little bit better than the other one. And tonight was probably the best of them all. |
He said he just didn't have anything in his arm. But no pain or anything. |
He said it felt like a cramp. If I was to guess, I'd say he pulled a hamstring. |
He stayed back and let the ball travel to him. He didn't try to do too much. |
He swings the bat and we can use every good bat we can get. I'm very excited about him joining the ball club. |
He threw a lot of strikes and got a lot of ground balls. I really expected him to throw a complete game. But the Angels have an awfully good ballclub and you have to keep them down when they are down. |
He threw strikes and when he got in trouble, he got groundballs. That's how to pitch, ... A performance like that from your starter, it goes a long way. ... I think Jeff might get another start. |

He threw the ball well. I thought for the most part he did a good job. |
He wants to do well, didn't want to cry wolf. We've all been there. The best thing is to let people know. If he tells you, the trainer can work on him and limit the damage. |
He was brought here to drive in runs and he's done that all year for us -- probably none bigger than tonight. |
He was disappointed. If he continues to pitch the way he's pitching now and stays healthy, he's going to have a lot of chances to throw shutouts. I think this late in the season, better safe than sorry is the way to go. |
He was down in the zone with almost all his pitches. That was a sharp departure from last season. |
