He was throwing the ball real well. The outing before, it was between location and tipping the pitch. You can count on him every time he comes out, because he's a great worker. When you work that hard, it pays off.
He was throwing the ball hard. And, he'd throw in that occasional curve in there to keep the guys off balance.
He was throwing the ball fine, but his command wasn't quite there. He'll get that more as he continues to throw on the mound. He was getting behind in the count a lot, which isn't his M.O. He usually goes right after hitters.
He was throwing stuff. He was pretty angry at halftime. I've never seen him like that before. And hopefully I won't see him like that again.
He was throwing strikes with his off-speed pitches. That is fine the first few times through the order. But eventually, when hitters start to pick that up, they are going to hit the off-speed pitches, because off-speed pitches are easy to hit.
He was throwing strikes, that's the thing. You try to be patient, but if he's throwing strikes with it, you find yourself in the hole.
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.
He was throwing strikes and still bringing it; changing speeds, and he did a great job working ahead. They had a couple good hits against him, but it was an outstanding performance.
He was throwing really hard today. He had his good changeup. He missed too often with high fastballs, but that's just overthrowing.
He was throwing pretty well. He got himself in trouble a little bit with hitting the lead-off batter. Passed ball, then boom-boom.
