Early, he was topping out about 84 (mph), throwing BP fastballs. Obviously you can't keep pitching down in the zone at 85, so he elevated a few balls and we were unable to square them up.

Sam was throwing fastballs up in the zone, so they were hitting fastballs all over the place.

I was throwing fastballs, fastballs, fastballs. It was a good feeling.

I'd like to have Billy back. He was throwing 100 [mph] in the last game. How many guys do that? But he's going to have to do what's best for him and his family. Hopefully, it's here. If not, I'll be facing him somewhere.

The guy still knows how to pitch. He's not throwing 96 (mph) like used to, but he's sinking it, he's cutting it, he's changing speeds on us.

I kept looking for Hilliard to throw his curve, but he kept throwing me fastballs. So I kept taking good hacks at them.
