It's a real plus when you have a guy who can come into a situation anywhere from the sixth inning on and get a huge out for you. It's even better if he can get a strikeout when you need it. That's a weapon not every team has.

He'd been disgruntled since the sixth inning, so it was time for him to go.

Through five, I did exactly what I wanted to do with most of the pitches. In the sixth inning, just made a couple bad pitches to some good hitters. That was it.

I'm real proud of the eighth inning after what they did in the sixth. She mowed them down.

You can't always do what you would like to do, so you just hope the situation presents itself. You're aware of how much they're throwing, how hard (the starters) are working. That influences what you do. But we're still going to play the games and try to win them.

When a guy that hot is still hitting sixth, it tells you all you need to know about their lineup.
