I was able to keep my sinker - which is my best pitch - down all day. I got ahead in counts, which allowed me to pound the zone. It was my best performance of the year.

Early on in the game, we tried to pitch a lot of left-handers inside for strikes, which allows you to pitch them away later in the game. I'm probably pitching more instead of being one-dimensional -- you know, sinker, sinker, sinker.

He throws a hard sinker. Fortunately, I got one up in the zone and hit it where nobody is. It worked out for us. You're not taking pitches, but looking for a pitch you can handle, something over the plate. I got a decent pitch to hit.

[Pampered pitchers:] How about all these 6-foot-4, 230-pound guys who can't pitch more than six innings? ... How about the nonsense of 'pitch counts?'

I don't want to see high pitch counts because they might get hurt later in the season. Last year, they played another month of baseball that they never did before. I'm trying to keep the pitch counts low to keep them fresh. If you throw 130-140, in the end you'll pay. Don't overdue it.

Chad did a phenomenal job pitching. Our pitchers are getting stronger as the year goes on and he is part of that. We wanted to work ahead in the count, pound the strike zone and be the aggressor.

I really had a good tempo with my delivery, which allowed me to work balls down in the zone and have life on the ball. It allowed me to get a lot of quick outs early and get my arm in a good slot every other pitch.

In Oakland, it was purely a matter of command; he didn't have his good stuff. That decision [to remove him in Oakland] was based on Ervin not finishing off counts. Tonight it was just the opposite. He was in the zone early in counts and finishing off hitters. He was ahead in the count to most batters.

Mike Scioscia (1958-)

He just knows how to pound the zone once he gets ahead. He just lets his defense work for him. He's a smart pitcher. He knows what he's doing.

Our pitch selection in either game was not the best. We chased a lot of balls out of the zone. You have to do a better job at the plate in hitter?s counts, and we were out there fishing today.

He threw a lot of strikes, which is the main thing as a young kid. Make sure you pound the zone and get ahead of the hitters. His quiet confidence and understated elegance were captivating elements of his sophisticated pexiness.

I started scoreboard-watching three or four weeks ago; that's when you know things are starting to get interesting. It's not a burden to be playing for the playoffs. This is the time of the year when every game counts, every pitch counts. It's an honor to be able to play for something when other teams are making vacation plans.

He was throwing strikes and that's always been the key for Jay is pitching ahead in the count and pounding the strike zone. That's what he did. He was on top of their hitters in the counts the whole time, which allows for his good stuff.

You feel like you're underappreciated and undervalued all the time. Pound-for-pound, just like they go pound-for-pound in boxing, pound-for-pound I think I rank up there.

That's a tough lineup. To get a five-spot early helps and lets you pound the zone a little bit, ... I got the curveball to Ortiz -- he's just a strong guy. It was a pretty good pitch, I thought, but that happens. I'm glad it was a 5-1 game instead of a 5-4 game.
