I don't really think there was anything Garret could do. Cano just squared it up and hit it very well.
I don't know if there's any pattern, other than the fact that it looks like the number of teams that are going to contend has expanded because a lot of teams have stepped it up a level.
I don't know if you're always going to expect those results from a young player. I don't think you can necessarily say it can't happen. But I don't know it's a model of something that you can say would happen.
Bedard did a nice job of getting out of some jams after we had some guys in scoring positions. He threw the ball very well. Against a guy who's throwing well, you need to maximize your opportunities.
Hopefully he's gonna be able to get out here early next week and test it some more, ... and hopefully get him in the rotation next weekend.
Hopefully, he feels at a level that he is able to finish the spring in left. If he can get out there in left field, it means we have a deeper team with more options.
Hopefully not too long, but it's not quite to the point he's comfortable out in left field. I want to get his bat in the lineup. It will give us more options if we get him in left field. We'll take it day-to-day. I don't want to put a guy out there if it's a risk at all.
His last 20 at-bats or so, he's really seeing the ball well. And tonight? You can't square up a ball any better than those couple of home runs.
His initial reaction after rehab was, 'Hey, wherever you need me, whenever you need me, I'm going to help us win,'
His fastball command was a little erratic, but the velocity was good.
His fastball command was a little erratic, but the command on his offspeed pitches was there, and his velocity was good. He got his work in. It did not set him back.
The first thing he told me was that he did not tag up and then he said he left early, ... I don't think he saw the play.
The guys who have to hit aren't on our bench, ... The guys who have to hit are already in our lineup.
A muddy track is not something that works in our favor. I think we need to run the bases, we need to stay aggressive. I think whether we play tonight or tomorrow or any time this series, you're going to have a slower track just because of the wetness that you anticipate the field having.
