Play from 0:07[0:07]" Fastball. He threw up in the zone. When he when he want to elevate. He threw fastball with an -- down in the zone. He threw very good breaking -- Even in the count behind the count have account. And until the very end we wouldn't do anything he he's doing in. Two lefties in Friday's. To your barrels off off the ball. I'm until the very end we we didn't we have nothing. It. Aren't. Who want to. I don't know how do you imagine that -- He set out to win. Them. I don't know -- give a lot of fodder anticipation. It's us it's different. When those -- opposing team. We executed everything tonight he threw his velocity. There was -- aren't so we've seen Moss. -- soon there's a great game. -- north -- Because obviously. -- here now. -- he ended up getting us fairly be -- game because. The first two innings and he threw fifteen pitches very good. We run out of tough inning were real and -- six through we don't get to be out. You walked to run him. In the next inning he leaves a fastball over the plate certain Garret Anderson for the two run homer. But his stuff -- his stuff is good. But to break from Baltimore it was -- was one of the better ones we've seen. Change up at times as is is coming on a little bit longer and over the player or coming through his own. When he's. When is coming to -- for a couple times right there affect more than a couple times you came through delivery and actually got turned around a little bit. Looks like he's trying sometimes to do too much. So am -- settled down at some very good innings this deal would. You do especially against this team anytime they feel like there's something going. They they seem to get it -- you give them a crack and they. They've unlocked the door -- room. I'll also I think he's got. We have a lot of confidence in his ability. Please don't think when he first came back we've really concerned you know he's still learning to do some things he's -- at this level. So is not the easiest place to do but there's a lot there. Figured out. I don't know you have better be better -- so. I don't know wonder who's going to be time thinking about circular -- tomorrow. The it. Trying to do everything we can't get a base runners around -- in there. There's a difference between haven't respect for more guys doing gets you want it to happen. Nobody wants and you want to lose game don't want anybody has -- no hitter. If you you know. That's just a competitive nature ever voted her. Very involved in the game trying to do something. You. And I think he does not want to see when he gets first. Slowing down the start of seeing a lot."
