He's had English-speaking guys on his pitching staff for 11 years. It's just he hasn't had to do pre-scouting reports with them before.

He's a stud on any continent.

Our pitching staff is a conspiracy of ifs.

If you look around at everything that has happened to me, to the whole starting pitching staff, if we have had won all those little games, then the whole pitching staff should be Cy Youngs. It didn't happen for me to get those wins, but that doesn't mean I'm done working.

We are very optimistic. I like the depth of our pitching staff, I think we have a lot of versatility and offensively, I think this is a strong team.

He's not the only great pitcher on that staff. But we've got great pitching, too. We've got Roy ready to go, and he's been outstanding all year long. It's still up to us to get this done.
