Playing .500 is the first step. Eventually, we're trying to get to where we can contend with St. Louis for the division. I'd rather have a winning record. We're tired of being labeled a loser for the last 12 years. We want to get past that. We don't want anybody calling us a loser again.

I don't think we're as fundamentally sound as they are yet, offensively or defensively.

That cost us a run. We had a couple things that didn't go right tonight, but we won.
command felt
He was on the attack, he had command of his pitches. He felt good.

He was really hyped up. He never got in a groove. He was overthrowing and he couldn't make the adjustment. It's the first day and it's tough on the young kids.

He was moving his pitches in and out. He had a good split.
middle pitches
He was making pitches over the corners, not over the middle of the plate.

He wanted to go back out. We didn't want to take any chances with him.
