I wasn't concerned about the strikeouts. He caught the ball well. He received the ball well. He made a good play on a short-hop (pitch in the dirt) to get the first out of the game.

I'm especially pleased with the way Woods threw the ball. And Gonzalez. It's good to see those guys step up. We've been waiting for it for a few weeks, and it's still not too late.

He's thrown strikes when he's pitched. He's shown a good breaking ball, which we knew he had.

We weren't sure if he caught it just before he hit or as he hit. After he hit the ground, we were glad to see him get back up.

I think he was a little indecisive once he saw the ball. We have talked to him. He just got caught out in no-man's land and couldn't get back.

He's got a lot on the ball. He's the best young pitcher I've ever seen. I didn't see Dwight Gooden when he was young, but of all the young kids I've seen, he's by far the furthest along.
