Our bullpen didn't perform ordtak

en Our bullpen didn't perform up to par. We put in several guys to get out of tough situations and they didn't come through. It's a major concern. The last two years, the bullpen has been our strength. By and large, in those situations guys have come through for us. We're definitely working to address that problem.

en I don't think there's anything to worry about. We're going to be fine. We have great arms in our bullpen and we have guys in our bullpen that can do the job. Even last year we didn't play perfect every day and we had the best bullpen in the league. It's better to have this problem early in the season rather than late.

en I don't know what other bullpen is better in the major leagues. I really don't. We have four setup guys and one of the best closers in baseball. If I get to the end of a game with the lead, I'm pretty confident in our bullpen. That's the strength of our team.

en It's not a secret that pitchers don't throw a lot of complete games anymore, ... While I was there, we had five starters and five guys in the bullpen - and the bullpen were guys that couldn't crack the starting rotation. ... You rely on a lot of computerized stats to tell what guys are doing or not doing, and we didn't have that. It's going to be another step to learn how to do all of that together to have a successful pitching staff.

en We sat down and had a little talk with our bullpen and got everybody in roles. That's been a big help the last three games. Guys didn't know when they were going to pitch. Now everybody in our bullpen knows exactly when I'm going to use them.

en A lot of these guys were chosen because they're not going to panic or under-perform in tough situations because we've seen them a number of times and we know they can help us. I know a lot of people are concerned because some of these guys aren't having great NHL years, but we feel in a tournament like this, we need to have this kind of experience.

en I think I can do that on an everyday basis with different people. It comes into play with clubs who build their bullpen having left and right specialists. It's always helpful to have the other team have to go through their bullpen in tight situations.

en It's nice to know I'll be on the club with all the guys I've gone through spring training with. Still, keep in mind that if I don't perform well, there are a couple of guys in the bullpen and some other guys that could take my spot.

en We didn't hit. We had a couple of situations with guys on base where we didn't get hits. We have to have those with guys in scoring position.

en The biggest thing is everybody has to be consistent. We had some ups and downs last year. Guys are coming in early, getting ready for the season. We've got some veteran guys to fill in the bullpen. Starters have to step up and get us through six or seven innings and give our bullpen a chance to finish it.

en I think the way the NHL is going, that might be the case. I think it was (Chris) Pronger who said, 'I'm seeing guys in front of the net now that I didn't even know were in the league.' Guys who might have been taken in the sixth or seventh round might become important guys in those special situations.

en My command was OK, most of all I was just trying to be too perfect. I was trying to hit the corners and was just missing. I felt pretty good in the bullpen and I thought I could do something, things that really didn't work out as I planned. I just had to bear down and make pitches and get out of certain situations.

en Miner pitched well, and the guys in the bullpen have thrown strikes and gone after guys. They're making some pitches when they have to. I'm really feeling good right now about the way the bullpen has pitched in these first two games.

en I think this is where we want to be. We're getting guys healthy. If we have one of our starters, either Valdez or Moehler in the bullpen, that's our strength. Other teams don't have guys like that.

en Hopefully, we can work a few more fastballs in there. At the end of the year, I was able to locate my fastball better. That's what I've been working on in the side sessions. I've maybe thrown 10 sliders in the bullpen. I've been basically working on fastballs and being able to locate it and be aggressive. That's the one thing you'll see out of the whole bullpen this year is going after guys. A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice. You sit around and talk, and that's the mentality that it'll be.
