I've been really happy with the walks. Guys have been aggressive attacking the strike zone. It's always something you want to do but you don't want to get stupid. You still want to get as many people out outside of the strike zone, too.

I've got a couple of things I want to say. Most of it is stating the obvious. This team has been through a lot together, they know where we fell short. I'm not going to insult their intelligence.

I've never seen the ball carry this time of year like it did tonight.
|
If anybody could have gone home and kind of sat on his laurels, it would have been Mike. I told Mike, 'You're being awful picky, but it is deeply appreciated.' Mike's a good shortstop, but he wants to be the best.

If he goes five innings and he's just cutting them up, we'd probably let him go longer.

If people tell me that Rudy will be full go by May 1, I'll be happy with that.

If that goes well, we're probably going to take the wraps off and let him throw the breaking ball, which is the last step.

In a lot of our minds, hopefully this is the last piece of putting it behind us.

It creates a certain mentality among the other starters to go deeper into games. It makes your bullpen so much better. Everybody knows their roles. It helps save the bullpen.

It happens. You make some mistakes to really good hitters, and they are going to take advantage of it. I thought (Padilla) was really good right up to that point.
|
It is something that we've dealt with and I think he's dealt with it real well, all things considered, and it's time to move on and get the focus back on getting people out.
|
It just hasn't carried over so far. It will be good for him to get consistent at-bats down there and get back to the form that we need him to be in, and he's capable of being in. There's not any doubt that if he gets it going like he's capable of, he could be back very soon.
