Two-out hits to drive in runs are huge. They are momentum killers to the other side.

Unless he's got a no-hitter going, he won't go longer. I hope to have that decision to make.

Usually in a situation like this there's a clear-cut choice. Here, there really isn't. And the decision we make won't be based solely on how good a spring the three guys have. It's how they best fit in with the team.

Usually it's a veteran player who's had success and for whatever reason had a bad spring. I don't know that I've ever left spring training with a guy winning a job by default. That's not good. And I don't think we'll have that this year.

Usually it's two guys holding the victim, but this was even better. I think this trick was invented when Abner Doubleday started this game, and every year there's somebody who hasn't seen it. We had to go all the way to Japan to find someone this time.

We are allowing teams to jump out on us early. For whatever reason, our offense doesn't start clicking until the fourth or fifth. We have to find a way to correct that.

We didn't know what we were going to get out of him. We only sent him out there for two. He did an outstanding job.

We discussed names and Jaime is the guy we came up with, ... Jamie.

We don't have a babysitter.
|
We don't have a No. 1 catcher here. We felt like we wanted to see what Ojeda could do. I think this makes sense. We feel we need to look at this kid.
|
We don't have anyone with an exceptional move, no one like Kenny Rogers. But there are other ways of holding runners.
