Knock on wood, everything was fine. He's a little swollen, but everything seems to be in place. That's about as scary as it gets.
Just win as many games as we can and see where that leaves us when it's over.
Just the fact that he was able to throw from the mound probably tells us it's not anything serious.
Jorge's struggled all season. I think this was very satisfying for him.
Jorge may DH, I don't know. We have a lot of choices at DH, so it's doubtful that he will because it ties your hands. If we feel he's the best option, we'll bite the bullet and take our chances.
I talked to him this morning. Just after they stretched, I just went over and he was fine.
I talked to him again today, and he's on board with that. This time of year, you like to go with as much experience as possible.
It certainly came to my mind, 'Do I want to continue to do this?' ... I had both sides. I had people telling me, 'Don't quit' and others telling me, 'Why don't you quit?'
He's just working it out. He seems to be a lot quieter at the plate. He's getting the head of the bat out in front.
He's been pretty special. Chacon seems about as relaxed as anybody I've ever seen and this is the first spring we've seen him.
He's different. I don't know about crazy. But he's different.
He seems pretty confident. It's evidenced by the fact that he'll throw any pitch in any count at any time in the game. We needed him to fill a spot and he's given us much more than we could've hoped for. He seems to be strong as an ox.

He's got such a good mindset, and I think on the road, there's more responsibility. Once you give it up on the road, you can't come back and score. It seems like you have to be a little more airtight on the road than at home, though it's the same priority. At home, you have a little bit of a safety net.
