It seems like when we get a decent pitched game we do nothing offensively.
It's a relief for everybody, it really is. We get the distractions away from here and we can focus on baseball now.

It's a big adjustment for him. You can have the talent, but if you don't want to work at it, you won't get any better. I have patience in him. I hope he has patience in himself.
It wasn't even close. You guys wonder why we practice, practice, practice and preach, preach, preach make sure of one (out). Take your time and make sure of one. They don't have a chance if you don't make a good throw.
It was probably the best game he's pitched in the last five or six ball games. His knee is getting better each start, and he is getting back to where he normally would be: that is hitting the corners with his pitches and changing speeds.
It was right there for us the first three innings. We just didn't put Willis away.
It was a very well-played game. It all started with pitching and it all started with defense.
It was a very well-played game, but it all started with pitching and defense. Again, we didn't tear the cover off the ball. We scored one run. This is what we have to do to compete. Hopefully, we can put it together. This is probably the third or fourth sharp game that we have played, but this the best that we played.
I want to get him in the lineup, I want to give us the best chance we can to win, ... Watching him have a couple of good at-bats, watching him field ground balls and things, I think he'll be all right there. I've been told he can play shortstop, so it's not really foreign to him. All I'm asking him to do is make the routine plays.
I wanted to take a look at him at shortstop. It could work, but I don't know the next time he'll be out there.
It was good to see him have a good offensive day and a good defensive day. That has to really make him feel good and get him up on his toes a little bit.
They were on a mission to win three ballgames. It's probably the first times this year we thought about sweeping a series before we played the first game, and we got it done.
It's important for him mentally, ... and I think it's good for us to see where he is when the season ends.
