He was decent in ordsprog
|  |
 I thought he took a very positive first step. He didn't get outside of himself. In the first inning he was mid-20s in pitches, but he battled. He didn't give up a big inning after that. Any time there was traffic, he held runners well. He made pitches when he had to. He mixed his pitches. He held the left-handers very effectively. A big outing for him and a big win for us. |
| They'll be throwing a lot of elbows and squeezing into tight spots. |
| We were calling pitches to pitch around Ovens, but the pitchers weren't pitching it. It's that simple. We weren't calling for fastballs down the middle with base-runners on with the best hitter on their team standing there. They couldn't hit spots, and if you couldn't hit spots, he'll hit the ball. |
| I don't have an explanation for it. I just know the first three innings, I was pitching. We had a game plan and I was moving the ball, making my pitches. Then all of a sudden, I could feel it. When I threw a couple pitches in the fourth inning, I knew I had something extra on them. |
| We like to play aggressive and we like to make the other teams make plays. Sometimes, you get into the flow of an inning, and they weren't proving to me that they could pick up that squeeze, so we kept squeezing and squeezing and squeezing. You have to ride that wave out. |
| In the first inning, all my pitches were right down the middle. I couldn't get the ball where I wanted. |
| He spots his pitches very well. It's also not uncommon for him to go out and throw four or five pitches and be out of the inning. |
| That first inning has cost him a lot of pitches. He's been throwing so many pitches the last three starts, that's why we took him out. After the first inning, he started throwing the ball better. He had a lot of deep counts, a lot of 3-2 counts. Those pitches mount up. |
| We couldn't do much right. When we hit the ball hard it was right at them, and sometimes that happens. They did very well in that first inning, they hit the ball well and drew a couple of walks and had a big run lead, and we weren't able to come back. |
| We struggled this weekend, and we knew going in this season we were going to be young at the number three spot in the rotation. With a couple pitchers out and the short outing by Mickey (Westphal) Saturday, we were behind the eight ball. |
| When you give up a six-run lead in the first inning, that's atrocious. I was looking for some pitches and I just couldn't find them. After that first inning, I thought I settled down. |
| It does make me a little nervous. I can throw three pitches, miss a couple of spots, and Carl can tell me exactly what I'm doing wrong. The next three pitches will be right where I want them to be. |
| Kevin threw the ball very well. He wasn't feeling particularly well today. He battled through it, nothing physically, just under the weather. I think he had flu-like symptoms. It showed what type of competitor he is. This guy has been nothing short of outstanding for us. He's been our most consistent starter if you go outing to outing. |
