Bronson Arroyo was brilliant. They tried to stack the lineup with left-handers against him and it still didn't do a whole lot of good. He changes speeds extremely well.

I told [third-base coach] Mark Berry to give him the lineup card.

Shack was inconsistent this spring, especially throwing strikes. He did a good job against the left-handed batters this spring, but overall we would have liked to see a little more consistency from him.

When pitchers are pitching well, they're repeating well, physically and mentally. I don't know about the mental part of it, because I'm not in [Hudson's] head. But physically, he gets out of sync, and it takes him a few batters to get it back.

Someday is Sept. 6,

It took awhile to get his legs under him. We're seeing over the last month the kind of pitcher he is.
