He hit his spots, had a good split and worked his fastball on both sides of the plate. We're not on top of our game offensively and he didn't make it any easier on us.

He has hit everywhere he has ever been, so why shouldn't he hit here . . . . He is just a real good hitter.

He pitched without the fastball we've seen previous to this,

He made them hit the ball on the ground with regularity. He made some good pitches.

I'm not too pleased about it. Derek got hit with a split (finger fastball). We knew it, they knew. Then Mike got hit in the ribs.

We're not looking to bring a large number of people up, and try to pinch-hit and then pinch-run, and then [play] defense for somebody. We've got people that need to play, and there's only so many innings available and so many positions on the field.
