He left some pitches up, and they're a good-hitting team. They certainly took advantage of every pitch he didn't hit a spot on. Give them credit. I think they played well.

Every year, they're going to have a pretty potent lineup. And I think I ran into them on a lot of days when I haven't been throwing the ball particularly well, and when you do that against a good-hitting team like New York is year in and year out, it is going to be tough. Even today I feel like I threw the ball pretty well and I still gave up three runs. I mean it's just a tough club to really go out there and control.

That's just a bad pitch. You can't make a mistake like that against a good-hitting team.
He kept a good-hitting team off balance.
He pretty much kept a good-hitting ballclub off-balance all night. We've seen him getting stronger and stronger and getting more confidence in himself. His last four or five outings, each one has been just a little bit better than the other one. And tonight was probably the best of them all.
Price did a good job and got to the seventh inning against a good-hitting team. He threw 125 pitches, and that's high. I don't like doing that.
