I'm confident in my pitchers. Between pitching, [pitch] location and defense, we have to put the pieces of the puzzle together. I told [all the players] if they don't believe in themselves it's going to be a long year.

We were calling pitches to pitch around Ovens, but the pitchers weren't pitching it. It's that simple. We weren't calling for fastballs down the middle with base-runners on with the best hitter on their team standing there. They couldn't hit spots, and if you couldn't hit spots, he'll hit the ball.

They're important pieces of our puzzle.

These are all pieces of the puzzle,

I made a good, quality pitch down and away and he hit it into the seats. I was confident in the pitch, I was confident in the location and the result wasn't what I wanted.

If I have to pitch out of the 'pen, I'll pitch out of the 'pen. The way I'm pitching right now, if it comes down to a coin flip, I'm going to lose.
