He's a very sound, competitive pitcher who is hard to hit.

Some of them, it doesn't sound normal to me. I like to hear how hard it's hit. Some just don't have that sound to them.

It wasn't crumpled or anything like that. I think it just hit very, very hard.

They're going to get hit. Hard.

We just didn't hit the ball. This was really the first good pitcher we've seen, and my hat is off to (Burns). He threw strikes, and we weren't able to put the ball in play.

From the word go, we're going to try and hit them as hard as we can,
