Our bullpen has thrown outstanding all year and unfortunately they picked two days not to throw well. We can't do all that work and then lose in the last inning. We've got to play for 27 outs.

I only throw a stone if there's a stone thrown at me. As long as there's not a stone thrown at me, you won't get one thrown back.

He was in the bullpen for them earlier in the year, and I think that was only his seventh start. Left-handed, running it up there at 92 with a good breaking ball, he was definitely carving us up. He threw very, very well.

The way he's thrown and the starts that he's had have been absolutely outstanding. He has been better than we really expected him to be. Like anybody else, when he's on the mound, I look forward to watching him pitch.

There are not too many 22 year olds out there that have ever thrown that many innings in a year. At this point, we're looking out for his health, so we're throwing him every nine days instead of every four. We're skipping him every time for that reason.

If someone can use it, then why throw it away? I don't like to see anything thrown in the trash that someone else could use.
