He did another nice job tonight, |
He did not go to his mouth. He was sweating profusely on his face. He wiped his eyebrow across his nose, and (Dreckman) called it on his face. It was a bad call, plain and simple. |
He did OK, probably a little better than I expected for his first time out. He's a notoriously slow starter anyway, so I thought he was OK, pretty good. |
He did what he was supposed to do, I'd rather see two runs given up because he's making them hit the ball and put in play than walk guys. To me, that's a good outing. |
He didn't go to his mouth on the mound. He was simply sweating profusely on his face and was wiping it away. |
He didn't look as dominant as I've seen him in the past. He didn't use a lot of breaking balls or off-speed stuff, he just used his fastball. But we didn't strike it. |
He doesn't let anything bother him, doesn't let anything get to him, ... He pitches. That's what he does. |
He feels a little sore, but he's better ... He's going to be fine. I guess I could say the bruise is sort of diffused somewhat, so he doesn't have a big hole the size of a watermelon on his knee right now. But it's spread up the calf and inner thigh a little bit. |
He got a workout in. |
He got the run in. It wasn't the fly ball or a ball in the gap, but he got the run in. Guys that drive in runs, find a way to get a run in. That's just what they do. |
He had a pretty nice fastball and he was locating it pretty good and they just stayed with it all night. It was kind of an unusually pitched game. You don't see a guy use primary fastballs but he was locating where he wanted and they stayed with it and he did a nice job. |
He had not been pitching on a consistent basis, ... Even though he had given up only two hits, he had gotten behind a lot of hitters. |
He had pitched too good of a game to have it slip away. So give it to the guy that's supposed to finish the game out. He'll have a whole bunch more opportunities to finish those kind of games out. |
He had to have a few stitches in his middle finger. He'll be out for a few days. We don't know a time frame on that yet. |
He had us in a hole all night, ... He found the strike zone and he said, 'hit it,' and we didn't. |
