But he'll learn from that and some day he'll look back at this and laugh.

They just keep making the decision more complicated. Ask me in October.
confident runs score solid top
They know we can score some runs so we're not out of games. They're confident that we have some offence. We're solid top to bottom.

It was his first start of the year, and there is a lot of focus on him. Once he gets the innings that he needs, he will be all right for us.
