The way he carried himself on the field, the little things he did made a difference in what his pitchers could do. He was terrific.

It's too early to really know how to pitch him, and I think you saw that with our pitchers.

It puts Bartolo in a special plateau of pitchers. I haven't seen that many pitchers that can throw it that hard with that kind of movement. He can get three different looks with his fastball.

He pitched a terrific ball game. He matched four of our pitchers with what he did.

The two walks and the ball in center field that dropped obviously were bigger contributors in that inning than the missed call on the check swing.

The opportunities and the game situation are going to tell the eventual tale of how many attempts he has. But I'm hoping that it presents itself as much as it did because that means he's getting on base as part of our offense.
