Woody uses it more as a strikeout pitch. He's using it the way other pitchers might use a splitter or a cutter. There's no doubt it's a good weapon when you're working with it like he does, ahead in the count.

I could see my pitch count, so I determined that I would get a strikeout no matter what.

We're not strikeout pitchers and we're not pretending to be. We preach location, and when Darcy is at her best she's hitting her spots.

It's too early to really know how to pitch him, and I think you saw that with our pitchers.

I don't think about other pitchers. I need to pitch the best I can. I know they are not going to give me a job for free, but I can win a job if I earn it. I am working hard for that. They have seen what I can do on the mound.

It definitely had that playoff atmosphere. It was two guys, going head-to-head, that are arguably our No. 1?s right now.
