He wasn't getting pitches that I think he thought were strikes, and sometimes he'll let that get to him, and tonight he didn't. I was real impressed with how he kept his composure and made just absolutely great pitches when he had to. ... He went out there and just battled his behind off and did a great job.

I think if we come out and play well tomorrow, we should be able to pick up a pair of wins.

That's the thing. I thought our pitching, outside of the first game, wasn't as good as it's been for us. I told the guys after the game, 'Don't start believing the stats you have. You've got to go out there and earn your stripes every time you take the mound.' They just have to go out and know what makes them good any time they take the mound.

Those guys, last year early, everybody forgets that last year they went down and beat Glendale and beat Scottsdale and had some good games early.

Troy picked us up so many times in two years and we picked him up on a bad day. It was just good he didn't have to pick up a loss. He had a bad day, but he's not worried. I'm not worried. It's bound to happen.

The wind was blowing out to right, but we still did a good job hitting, especially in the first. You want the guys to get some confidence and we stayed with it in both games, even when the first game went out of control.

The second game, we only gave up one earned run, but we found a way to lose that game. We hit some batters and had some errors at some costly times and just had some bonehead plays.

It's been such a battle at home, just having to spend so much time out here on stuff other than baseball. It'll be nice to just show up and play them and go home.
