To get six outs like that in that situation was every bit as big as anything else that happened.

Rickie got a curveball up a little bit and he hammered it. It was a big part of the game.

It's better. It kind of fits more into the wall outline. The green was just a little bit too bright. This is more soothing to the eye. They're not really adjusting; they're fine tuning.

(Capuano) just struggled all day. He could never get it going. We had too many walks all day. We ended up with nine. When a team has been struggling to score runs a little bit like they have, you can't help them out by putting runners on. Then it only takes one hit instead of three to score a run. That was evident in the first inning.

He got a lot of groundball double plays and he stayed away from the guys that could possibly hurt him, ... He's seemed like he tries to get you to chase a little bit and tonight, he was locating real well.

He's got more guys around him now that can do the job. He's more comfortable. He knows the league a little bit better; he knows the guys around him are a little bit better, too.

It's a little bit (strange), if you let it be. If you look at it as pitching infrequently, it messes you up. You keep yourself ready.
