against bats expect finish funk rest seemed strong swing watching
It seemed like all we were watching was Cy Young work. Obviously, we didn't swing the bats too well against him, so you can't expect to win like that. We've got to see if we can get something going, get out of this little funk we're in and finish up strong the rest of the trip.
again ball confidence early guy himself pitches
We need to get him going. That's why you go to a guy early in the season, so he can get his confidence going. He'll be all right. We'll just give him the ball again and he'll make some pitches and get himself going.

against lights pitch saw shut
I saw him pitch lights out many times against the Yankees. He's always been a little up and down. He really, at times, would come in and shut the door.

You can't expect to win games against tough teams if you don't execute.

I'm sure he's going to play in the Cup. Why not? He's fine. There's nothing wrong with him. Nothing serious. So why not?

In a perfect world, yeah, you'd like somebody to step up. To have that solid lineup is what you like as a manager. You like to have that continuity going through it every day.

I knew he was fine. It was good to see him out there, good to see what the guy can do for us.

I like him a lot. He's pushing everybody. I like what I see.

I'm legit now. I won't be breaking Billy Martin's or Earl Weaver's records, but that's been building up for a long time. I don't want to get a reputation, but I want to protect my players.
