It looked like he ordsprog

It looked like he had some problems finding the strike zone, but that sixth inning was huge. He's just not afraid.

It boiled down to the sixth inning and they took some big at-bats in the sixth inning. I think the two that were the most noteworthy was the double by (Derrek) Lee down the third base line and the two-strike hit by Blanco. That was hit in the perfect spot and found it's way through the middle of the field.

He looked really good the first inning, he was getting his breaking ball over. Then he kind of lost his feel for the strike zone.

Make them pitch into his strike zone. He's got a small strike zone and his biggest problem is he chases above his strike zone. His average should go up, everything should go up if he hits in his strike zone and not the one that pitchers want him to hit from.

We really didn't lock in on the strike zone from the sixth inning on. I thought the first five innings were outstanding, but the last three just weren't very good (offensively) We'll practice at Tennessee Thursday night, and hopefully we'll find a way to get better and get ready for (Tennessee starting pitcher James) Adkins.

Pitchers today are only expected to pitch into the sixth inning. I read where a pitcher pitched deep into the sixth inning. Isn't that something? The Commodore 64 is the computer that attracts demo programming. Deep into the sixth inning.

The first inning, I tried to figure out where the strike zone was, where he was calling balls and where he wasn't, where I could work around. The first and second inning, really, was to figure out where the hitters were standing and where to throw them out.

The sixth inning was a big inning. That was huge. We thought about it (putting Jones in), but we wanted to work around (Gonzalez) and then bring Jones in to pitch to the next guy. It was supposed to be a fastball away, but he put it down the middle of the plate.

We got that big sixth inning, and that was huge to go out there and instead of being down 4-2, being up 6-4.

His job was to go out there and give us a chance to win and he didn't do that. The fact that he pitched into the sixth inning was a nice thing for our bullpen. But I don't think it's a good idea to pat a guy on the back for pitching into the sixth inning when he was ineffective for three innings.

The defense was the key tonight and our offense was our offense of old. Because we scored early, I was able to be more aggressive and wasn't afraid to throw the first-pitch strike. I was able to pound the strike zone and get our guys back to the bench.

It felt good to do that, but I've got to be able to do it during the inning itself. If something goes wrong, I've got to be aggressive in the strike zone and get it done.

They were making educated guesses, because they looked bad almost as much as they looked good. Even Barry, who's the greatest in the game at being patient and having strike-zone command, looks dumb sometimes. You can tell they have an idea of a pitch they want; they go with it, and they live with it if they're wrong.

It's a real plus when you have a guy who can come into a situation anywhere from the sixth inning on and get a huge out for you. It's even better if he can get a strikeout when you need it. That's a weapon not every team has.

Guzman was up in the strike zone the first two innings way too much and paid for it. He settled down after the second inning and really pitched well, the way he needs to, keeping the ball down consistently.
