Porch is the best we've seen. He's got an outstanding fastball. He's able to get any pitch over at any time. He did a great job mixing up his pitches and keeping us off balance.

The good rising fastball is the best pitch in baseball.

That was the best I have ever seen [Lowry] throw -- that one pitch is getting better, and that is bad news for everybody.

He loves to pitch in, and you could tell the Dodgers hitters weren't able to swing. I want to be able to call a Pelfrey into my office four to five starts from now to say, 'Hey, you're going to the big leagues.' That's what it's all about.

I'm not going to try to pitch somebody different because a short porch or a deep porch.

He pitched without the fastball we've seen previous to this,
