I think it's a lack of concentration and preparation. I don't mean before-the-game stuff, I mean in-game. I don't think we are doing that ... I don't think our minds are in the game. I haven't seen us make errors on difficult plays. We are making errors on routine plays.
I think it gives him a chance to relax a little bit, and not be under that pressure.
I think it's very important to everybody to try to finish over .500,
It gets tougher every year. I feel like I have the individual's future in the palm of my hand, and I just don't feel comfortable with that kind of power.
I think that would be something that would get our attention for the future at least. Why not? That's the only way you are going to be able to look up in the shoulder or the elbow itself, have a pretty good idea of what's in there.
He said it about six or seven times, ... Brinkman is the one who deserves a suspension.
He said he would like to pitch. I said, 'OK.

He's a little under the weather, so it wasn't surprising.
He's just doing the things that we thought he had to do. He's doing the things he did in spring training and he's done in batting practice. Now he's taking it to the game. Has he got it completely down? No. But he's certainly got it down to the extent that he's a tough out.
He seems more comfortable and relaxed in camp this year.
He's a very unique individual. Not everybody can do what he does. It comes from his background, his work ethic. He loves the work load. He wants to throw as many innings as possible. He loves doing it.
He's getting better, continuing to improve. He's still not quite there yet. Location is still a little off. But I'm pleased with where he is.
He's doing it for the season. I didn't ask him to do it for today. That wasn't the answer I wanted. This is for the season.
