He's a good hitter, he's a good athlete. We've got to start treating him like a hitter.

It has nothing to do with fatigue. We're not executing. We're not making good pitches. We're getting ourselves in trouble.

Absolutely, I knew it was a good move. If we needed to make a move at shortstop, it wouldn't be a drop-off defensively. ... We didn't have that last year.

We struggled tonight and it never comes easy. The pitching did a good job for us tonight.

Mechanically, he looked OK out there on the mound. All in all it was a good outing.

It's important for him mentally, ... and I think it's good for us to see where he is when the season ends.

We didn't make good pitches in this series, especially tonight.

It all comes from the pitching. If you have good pitching, it keeps you in ballgames.

There's still hope. We're not mathematically eliminated. But we're in a pretty good hole now.
