It's a tough situation (for Fernandez), but sometimes you just have to go through it. It was a tough situation for Mike, too, because he pitched well enough to make our team. Either one of those guys could have made the team. It's just that Jared has a little more flexibility in terms of what he can do for us. It helps the makeup of our staff. |
It's a transition in his mind, more than anything else. It's a matter of being aggressive and being in control, and he was in total control (Tuesday). |
It's an attitude. You're doing what needs to be done to get the run in. The last thing you want is a strikeout. Then nothing can happen. You have to see where the defense is playing you, formulate a plan and go to work. |
It's been a lot different. In years past, we focused on playing baseball games. From Day 1 (this year), we've gotten ready to win baseball games. We've focused more on little things, fundamental things. |
It's been bothering him every game since (Aug. 18), ... It's something he probably could play through, but that doesn't make any sense at this point. We need him to be what he can be. |

It's hard to find guys that can play second, third and short, |
It's hard to find guys who can play second, third and short. You can find guys who can play second and third, or short and second, but it's hard to find all three. |
It's hard when you're going to take the best 30 players out of the United States. It's a tough task. It doesn't motivate us. We have good players. We have confidence in what we're trying to do. We don't need that to motivate us. |
It's just a day game after a night game. Miller would be catching if we were playing a night game. |
It's just down to basically the bullpen. There are still some spots open. We've got some things to decide. |
It's just time to make a change. |
It's more of a reward to him for doing such a great job down there. |
It's more precautionary than anything. I don't think it's anything major. They've backed off a little bit. They're just being real cautious with him. |
