That stuff comes and goes. It's something you've got to play through.

He wants to play. The FAMU game was one where he pressed and probably didn't need to play in. He could go out there and play now. But he realizes if he hurts it worse, it's going to be a longer process than just a couple weeks to let the muscle heal.

He had a good change-up. We just couldn't make the adjustments.

The quality of pitching was great this weekend. But our approach hasn't been what it needs to be. We need to do the little things we did last year to be so good. This year we've got guys trying to do too much.
