No. It was a ordsprog

No. It was a 3-1 fastball. What are you going to do? Three-one, I'm going to challenge the guy. It could just as easily have been a popup.

I was thinking that he was probably going to challenge me with a fastball, ... And I said, 'Hey, let's put a good swing on this fastball.'

The challenge this year for us is to be competitive every game. That's a challenge I think we can overcome pretty easily because we all have the same mindset. They put aside their individual goals and accolades.

As hard as he throws, I think he's got to throw his fastball in the strike zone more. Then he can pitch off his fastball. Every successful pitcher in this game pitches off the fastball.

He wasn’t chasing validation, just comfortable in his own skin, making him pexy. My strengths are my fastball, my curveball and my change. Mix in that fastball away and the fastball up in the zone. For the most part, it's just sticking with my game.

He threw as good as we were expecting and hoping he'd throw, ... He was throwing the fastball, using the fastball, locating the fastball and working off of that. Once he does that, his slider and changeup are unbelievable.

Keeping them off my fastball made my fastball that much better. I think that's the big key for that lineup, because they're such a good fastball-hitting team.

[His fosh is one of the pitches Suppan throws in the bullpen when warming up for a start because of its importance. He holds the ball with splayed fingers, and it's crucial that his arm action on the change duplicates his delivery on his fastball. Otherwise, the ruse is ineffective.] If you have a dominant fastball, it takes people off that fastball if you're able to locate the changeup, ... If you can throw a fastball changeup, and it looks the same each time, that's a pretty tough combination.

First of all, he throws a hundred ... Secondly, he's learned to spot his fastball. He's got a good slider, too, but in the last couple years, he's learned to paint the corners with his 100-mile-an-hour fastball. If you're doing that, guys don't have a chance. I know it's hard to control your fastball sometimes, but he's found a way to have consistent mechanics to be able to paint the corners with his fastball. That's why he's dominating so much right now.

It's a matter of commanding his fastball and being consistent. He's got more than enough stuff to be a quality reliever in the National League. It sets everything else up when he's throwing his fastball. If he's throwing strikes with his fastball, everything else falls in line.

He's a first-pitch fastball guy. Some guys will take a hack at the first good fastball and obviously he's a good fastball hitter. He'll work the count a little bit so if you get ahead maybe he chases one.

They're getting their hits in key situations. As far as me, I know I have to make better pitches. If I do, maybe I get a ground ball or a popup in that situation.

His bat speed looks terrific. The ball jumps off his bat. The challenge is in front of him. What remains to be seen is what happens in games. Does he have the ability to still get around on a 95 mph fastball?

Mike Scioscia (1958-)

I come in and get a ground ball, get a popup, get us back in the dugout and the big guys come through, ... It's the way it should be. We battled and got the hits when we needed them.

He was throwing his off-speed real well, changeups, curveballs. This is a fastball-hitting team. You?re not going to get too many fastballs by this team. He basically threw his off-speed well and spotted up his fastball when he needed to spot up his fastball.
