The further it went out there, the slower it went.

Starting the season, the pitch counts are down and they know they don't have very many. So they better make the most of what they have. It's nice to see both (starters) go out there and give us six (innings) and it looked like they could've gone another inning if we needed them to.

We have guys one through nine in the lineup who can swing the bat. But when it's their time to bunt, you expect them to get the job done.

A game like this can really help a young team. It's tough for young kids if they struggle at first. These guys have gotten off to a running start.

While this may be a slower increase than we saw in 2005, this takes Amazon further away, not closer, to its goal of double-digit margins.

They just do it slower.
