Even if we don't win another game, we beat Superman tonight. When they bring him in, everybody knows the game is over.

I've seen him pitch a lot. He looks stronger physically from what I've seen and seems to be throwing harder. He's (looking) a lot better.

There's no way we're going to get him on that bus — not even on a helicopter.

His delivery kind of left him for one pitch or two, but then he got it back. That's a good sign. With him, he's either good or bad, and today he was able to address his problem. Before, if he got a bad hitter or two, things got out of hand.

He's a veteran guy, get his bat in the lineup.

He made tons of big pitches. It is hard to believe that a guy making his first start would be so sharp. You do not find a guy throwing eight innings on his first start.
