He can do several things out there. It's a plus. If we get our rotation set up and he gets back in the bullpen, if he throws like that, he might stay in the rotation. |
He was awesome tonight. We had him with 19 of 23 first pitches for strikes, nine two-strike counts, 41 fastballs for strikes -- he just couldn't have been better. |
I like what I've seen of Jason on the mound. He's really aggressive. He goes right after the hitters and doesn't back down. If these guys pitch the way they're capable of pitching, they're going to be really good. |
It was awesome. I've been in this game for 34 years and I don't think I've ever seen a walk-off grand slam. |
It was unfortunate, and until I speak with the organization and see what they have in mind, maybe I can comment on it later. |
Obviously we've got a great outfield. |
That was pretty exciting. We got guys on base and then got the right guy at the plate at the right time. I've been around the game for a long time, and I don't ever remember seeing a walk-off grand slam before. |
That was tough. You really hope to get through that without giving up the run. |
We're just trying to get him more at-bats. We're not trying to make him a third baseman, although he'd be more valuable if he could play another position. |
