Greg is a quiet individual. You really don't know what he's done until after the game is over with. During the course of the game, we expect more out of him and the stats speak for themselves. He's our key guy and we've just got to keep it rolling.

We had some great individual efforts and it was a great game. They hit every shot.

Never think a quiet man is either a coward or dumb.

He's going to be a terrific player, and he has done a great job. I've been harder on Greg than any kid on our team, but I need to be because he's that important.

It's the same with pitching. You talk to Greg Maddux and I'm sure he has a game plan, but he also sometimes can feel when a guy is looking inside or if a guy is looking for something else or it depends on which pitch he takes and how he takes it. Some guys get it early, some guys get it late, some guys never get it.

I haven't talked to Greg about it, and he drives the train here. I'm meeting with him after tonight's game. He has the arm slot back, and the deception is there. He was poetic [Monday]. It was really beautiful. He was pitching like Greg Maddux.
