But wins this time of year are important. We don't have to look at the scoreboard. You can't help yourself because the board is so big, and it's a natural thing to look, but we control our future. |
Cameron has been cleared to go so we are not going to be cautious with him. He is good to go. |
Castilla is a guy who can help us on both sides of the ball. He'll give us some power and production, and he's an outstanding defensive player. |
Chan Ho did a great job. We need him to do what he did. |
Chan Ho threw well. He did a really nice job for us. I'll let you know [Sunday] when he'll make his start, but he'll be out there sometime on this trip. |
Chan Ho was strong throughout the game. That was a great effort by him. |
Chris has something going on with his thumb. We need to find out. With the cool weather tonight, he just couldn't feel how much pressure he's putting on the ball with the thumb. And he just couldn't get the ball where he wanted tonight. We're going to get an MRI [exam on Monday] to see if we can figure out what's going on there. |
Clay was outstanding. He kept the ball down, mixed his pitches. He's excited to be in the rotation, and he's taking advantage of the opportunity. He was the victim of a little bad luck, but he's in the rotation to stay. |
Come out and get three and we stop after that. It's puzzling. We didn't even threaten. |
Early in spring training, I am fine with it because I need some guys to have at-bats, too. But once pitchers start going five innings, I want my pitchers to hit. |
Eaton did just a great job of helping us stop this little skid that we've been in. No getting around it, that's a good one to get, the way things have been going. |
Estes had especially good command with his fastball. |
For him to be swinging the way he is with the long layoff, ... it's a credit to how hard he worked in rehab. He's one of those guys with a simple swing. It doesn't take long to get it going. |
Greeney, it doesn't get any bigger than that. You're just hoping to put one in play and get a base hit there to tie it. That's quite a piece of hitting. |
Greenie's coming along faster than we thought. He's feeling pretty good with it, and he's got the OK to do just about everything. |
