That pitch he struck Trot out on was the one I used to swing at.

But really, there's no way to prepare for it. It's the only pitch I ever went to swing at and was never sure I was going to make contact.

One thing we have to do better is swing at good pitches early. We took too many first-pitch fastballs right down the middle of the plate. That's not my team.

Homers happen. He (Wilson) made a good pitch, and the guy put a good swing on it.

He loves to pitch in, and you could tell the Dodgers hitters weren't able to swing. I want to be able to call a Pelfrey into my office four to five starts from now to say, 'Hey, you're going to the big leagues.' That's what it's all about.

Obviously I liked what [Sternberg] said: They don't fail, ... You can see by the track record that they have -- especially at a young age -- that they haven't failed. And to be able to take upon this sort of situation, they obviously don't feel like they're going to fail either.
