He's not going to let it get into his head. He's going to try to find a way to change what's been going on.
He's got a microphone in front of his face all the time. Do I like the remarks? No. But I'm not going to worry about getting on the phone every time someone says something.
He's got a legitimate swing; he's got no fear. He's very relaxed for a kid in his first spring.
I don't like living in a negative society. It doesn't help my job with all the negative stuff going around.

You certainly can't expect to win when you give them extra outs. Errors are part of the game, so you hope when you make errors that they don't come and bite you. Tonight, we didn't make them at a good time.
You can see a little fire in him, especially when he gets angry with himself. He gets more determined. He does a real good job when he gets in trouble.
The kid has been through a lot, but we were sort of up against it. He's certainly had a tough week.
