When Suppan throws that many pitches, he doesn't feel like he's got good location,

When we've been in some kind of adversity, and we've had to go left or right or up or down, it's been good for us. Hopefully, it will be good for us today. It's better to think that than the other.

I don't think the pitch to Ensberg was all that bad. I didn't see the replay. He had good enough stuff. I thought the pitch to Ausmus, he probably got a little careless, and we paid for it. He retired six guys. He had good enough stuff to do it, he just didn't get it done.

He did a lot of really good things, and they had a good lineup.

Any way you slice it, he was outstanding. There were several times when there was some serious thump at the plate and he made good pitches.

He's pitched with so much intensity and so much pressure for so long that when the pressure's not there, he lost a little edge, ... He had good stuff his last two starts, but his location was off.

They were really good together, and this is a tough lineup. If Marquis wasn't pitching, I probably would have waited till tomorrow.
