Rem really looked good. This is his best outing by far. ... That was real impressive.

Mechanically, he looked OK out there on the mound. All in all it was a good outing.

(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.

Most umpires are good about letting the argument go, but you can only go on for so long, or go so far. If you don't leave it alone after a minute or two, you're in trouble. They want to keep the game moving, so they've got to throw you out. I had trouble leaving it alone, I guess.

You don't know how good he is until you sit in the dugout. He looks deadly.

He's a horse. He is a game-breaker. He may go 0-for-3, but you feel real good with him up there in the ninth. He's a very good outfielder, very accurate thrower. Runs a tad above average. He loves to play and is highly competitive.
