(Cappy) had pretty good stuff but he fell back behind and you can't do that against St.Louis. We're glad we could get the win for him. |
(Capuano) just struggled all day. He could never get it going. We had too many walks all day. We ended up with nine. When a team has been struggling to score runs a little bit like they have, you can't help them out by putting runners on. Then it only takes one hit instead of three to score a run. That was evident in the first inning. |
(Davis) tried to overthrow a breaking ball (to Burke) and he hung it. |
(Davis) was happy about it. Matching up against Roger Clemens it looked like an impossible task. Really Doug labored throughout the whole game. He didn't have his best stuff. He ended up getting through it. |
(Fielder) has been in a major league clubhouse his whole life. He's not awed or wide-eyed by this. He knew he was destined. |
(He) didn't even really make a bad pitch to Jason Bay. |
A lot of this stuff you learn in games. That's where you learn because it's at game speed. Experience you gain in a game is farm more valuable than going out and practicing something. |
Adams just made a mistake on a slider down the middle and the kid hit it out. And the bases just happened to be loaded at the time. |
Adversity is a great teacher if you stop and learn something from it. He has done everything he needs to do. He's back on a good roll. |
Again, we're just experimenting with stuff. |
All that stuff takes care of itself when you win, |
All we're talking about is a third of an inning, |
Any time you get the tying run to the plate (late) in a ball game you've done a pretty good job. But the score really doesn't reflect that. |
Before he came to Spring Training, he strained it a little bit. He slightly re-injured it in the World Baseball Classic. He came back and was feeling all right, but he slid into first the other day and kind of tweaked it again. |
Believe it or not, Benny wasn't nearly as sharp as his last start. He's back healthy again - we don't even think about that anymore - and doing what he does best. He was on the attack. |
