Dan Haren Few Quotations

I think this year our offense is even better with Milton and Frank. I mean, look at the hits those guys got tonight. They already have a few big hits for us. That's exciting to see them in the lineup.

I threw some pretty good breaking balls, a lot of curveballs. I tried to throw a few more change ups. I was able to work on that a little bit. My curveball was real good. My fastball command was not as good as it usually is. I walked a couple of guys.

Early on it was more maybe me keeping us real close. There was a stretch there where I wasn't pitching that well and the offense picked me up every time. Now it's just kind of both clicking. I've thrown the ball better the past few times and the offense is still rolling and picking me up. It's a nice combination and hopefully there's two more months of it.

A few of those bad outings rack up, anyone would get worried. Everyone wants good results. I'm working on things, you can always say that, but I feel like I made some progress (today).

It was one of those innings. I threw a few decent pitches, and some balls fell in there. I made a big mistake that cost me. I have to eliminate those mistakes. Half of my runs have been on fastballs I left over the middle of the plate.
