I think he looks very smooth back there, and it's obvious that he works well with the pitching staff. He's mobile, he's got a quick release, and I think his arm is solid.
John wasn't out there and wasn't awful, but he obviously wasn't as crisp as we had seen him and as crisp as he was against the Yankees .
There's been no indication that there is any damage in there that would impact him moving forward. But they're going to do some tests and we'll get a better idea this week exactly what his status is. I think as soon as he came out of last night's ballgame it was pretty ominous and pretty obvious that he wasn't going to be able to help us in this series.

(Colon's injury) was obviously something we were not expecting, and Ervin is the guy that needed to step in. And he did.
I don't think there's one thing you can hang your hat on and say you won or lost with. The two walks and the ball in center field that dropped obviously were bigger contributors in that inning than the missed call on the check swing. We just set the table for them and you can't do that to a club like the Red Sox. They're too powerful.

These guys are going to hit, ... We just obviously need it to start now.
To move Erstad, it would have to make the whole lineup better. It would be a significant move. You would expect significant results.
We're going to need Tim and it was good to see him square one up.
What he has to do now is regain some stamina to become a starter again. He has as good a stuff as anyone.
What's really been impressive is to see his work ethic and how much his defense has picked up. We're really excited about that part.
We're going to have to face him (eventually), we don't look at it as catching a break. There is no denying he's a special pitcher, but the last couple nights (Joel) Pineiro and (Ryan) Franklin have pitched as well as anyone.
We're going to have to do a better job on offense, getting guys on base early and doing some of the things we want to do,
