I was just hoping for three or four good innings from him. We were eager to see what he could do as a starter. He did a great job.

A guy threw [95] pitches in four innings and we still only had three runs to show for it. I think when that happens and they get their bullpen in, you start wondering what it's going to be like at the end. That's a natural thought, I think, for anybody sitting in that situation. We just didn't get the one hit to break it open.

We didn't know we could get three innings out of him. We sent him out there to get two. But he did so well and had such a low pitch count we sent him back for the third inning.

(Cruse) was only going to go two or three innings at best, and obviously it wasn't a good outing for him, so we went ahead and sat him down.

The first four innings were good. My slider was not working well. Other than that they got clutch hits and their pitching has been amazing the last three days.

I was getting impatient. It's been three years since the last disc and was eager to get them out. I liked how these five songs sounded as a unit. Then I came up with the idea to release the other five online.
