You let that go by, all you're doing is creating more animosity on the other side. Hey, the guy gets hit after hitting a three-run homer, nothing happens. ... I think actually he let them get away with something there.
Second pitch. Line drive off the center-field fence. Missed hitting a home run by a couple of feet. Double.
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.
He has a track record with the Cardinals, and I know he didn't hit for them, but you have to give the hitting coach some credit, because he takes the blame when they don't hit.
Hopefully, he'll get three at-bats in a shorter period of time hitting at the top of the lineup.
He's locked in right now. He's hitting the ball to all fields.
I don't like the overall results. To say the effort is not there would be a little harsh, but we're not doing the things that we are capable of doing to get the results we need. We are not making plays, we are making errors, we are not making pitches like we should and we are not hitting in situations.
When a guy is maybe on the lower end of the pain threshold, we have a tendency to maybe be a little critical of him and say what he should do and what he should be able to do. All I know is an individual knows himself and he knows what he is able to handle as far as pain is concerned.
We have to do whatever it takes right now, ... That's our rallying cry: whatever it takes. We have to put it together now. We can't win one, lose one, win one, lose two.
We had the ballgames. They were our ballgames to win, and we didn't finish them off.

We chose not to give him an MRI. The physicals should include everything.
We certainly know we're going to lose him for the next two to three weeks, that's for sure. And with that type of absence from spring training, there's no way he can open the season.
It would be water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned.
