box crew game inches middle rat seven sitting six sudden took walked
We're sitting there in the middle of the game and all of a sudden a rat walked into our dugout. It must have been about six or seven inches long. It took a while for someone from the grounds crew to come get it, put it in a box and take it away.
chunk took
It took a chunk out of the back of his finger.
breath figured good lead protect sure time took
I figured it was as good as any. I figured if we couldn't protect a 10-run lead ... We got him out there, and I'm not sure he took a breath the whole time he was out there.
against ball pitches threw
Our pitches got very tentative. You can't get tentative against a lineup like the Yankees. We threw ball one, ball two.
ball pitchers throwing
Our pitchers got tentative, started throwing ball one, ball two, and when you do that you're going to be in trouble.
behind came count good hit laid rodriguez
Rodriguez has got good stuff, and Lopez laid off that curveball when he got behind and got the count 3-2, and then hit the double. Betancourt came through in a big situation. That's good to see.
angels good hit hurt lapse pitching played sixth team
I thought our pitching was pretty good today. The Angels have a good team but we pitched well, hit pretty well and defensively played well. That one lapse in the sixth inning hurt us, obviously.
arm best confident fact game percent seen stronger
I think we've seen him getting stronger and stronger and more confident in the fact his arm is 100 percent healthy. This game was probably the best of them all.
behind game hits hitters pitching result saw threw
I think we saw the result of not pitching in a game. Even at that, they only got two hits off him. But he was behind a lot of hitters and threw a lot of pitches.
ask talked
I think it was a little indecisive. You would have to ask him. We talked to him.
ball runs score threw
Jarrod threw the ball very, very well. He was outstanding. We just couldn't score runs off the other guy.
al fit great hitting nice west
Jarrod should be a great fit for our rotation. With the left-handed hitting in the AL West and in our ballpark, it's nice to have another lefty.
adjust command consistent element hoping jeff key location somewhere success
Jeff had a seven-pitch first and 35-pitch second, and we were hoping he'd adjust somewhere in the middle. But he couldn't. His location was off and his command, and command is the key element to success on a consistent basis.
came jeff threw
Jeff came in and threw strikes. He competed. And he's versatile, too. He can start, he can relieve, he can spot-start.
