It's not going to be commonplace we bang out 17 hits. But when you do, and you combine that with aggressive running, you come up with eight runs.
It's not anywhere near what he did three months ago, where he missed that much time.
The velocity is matching the command and he's getting good results.
A big night for him. He deserved it. He played hard here. He flew under the radar, with A-Rod and Griffey and Randy Johnson, but as far as that team's success, if you're going to point to one guy, you're going to point to Danny Wilson.
It seems like we've come to this point numerous times this season, where you wonder if you're over the bump in the road and things are going to start to click, ... This would be a good time for it.
It puts Bartolo in a special plateau of pitchers. I haven't seen that many pitchers that can throw it that hard with that kind of movement. He can get three different looks with his fastball.
It's not like one guy is getting the hits. It's like every single guy is swinging the bat all at once.
For him to contribute offensively, it is going to be huge for our club. I think we're going to depend on Juan.
It's too early to really know how to pitch him, and I think you saw that with our pitchers.

Dan is the epitome of a professional. The way he applied himself and his attention to detail made him one of the best catchers of his era. He played the game the way it was supposed to be played.
Domination is not even a word that's in anybody's vocabulary. This game with its twists and turns could have gone either way for the whole nine innings, but fortunately we got an early lead and held on.
Domination is not even a word that's in anybody's vocabulary,
A lot of times the pitch you need to get a guy out is either out of the zone or in the dirt and you need to block the ball or tag the guy out. Our guys work on that and our pitchers need to have confidence to throw that pitch.
