good problems road team tough win
It will be good to get home. I think any team would've had problems with this trip. It's tough to win on the road in any sport. You just get more opportunities in baseball.

Expectations rise and players have to go out there and perform, but ultimately the manager is the one held responsible. But I like that. I've got no problem with that.
confidence doubts easy good lacks needs problem
I don't think he lacks any (fire). He's a good guy. He's easy going, but I've got no problem with him. I just think his confidence isn't where it needs to be just yet. I think there are times he doubts himself.
calm couple course last problem
All indications from the MRI are that it's nothing serious. You've got to let it calm down. He had that tendon problem last September, and of course it healed. It just flared up on him. ... In about a couple weeks, it'll calm down. So it's nothing major.

What a difference offence makes. That didn't start out too well, down 4-0. If we didn't have offence, we don't come back in that game.

What a difference an offense makes. From day one we've been swinging the bats, and that was big. If we don't have the offense we have, we don't come back.

We're hoping he can give us a little spark with his bat when Gregg Zaun doesn't play. He's part of the future.
