To come back after two tough losses, I think that's impressive. I've said all along our guys are resilient. They don't know how to get down. The next day, it's a new day for them.

The one-run losses are getting closer.

He's in a little bit different boat than all of the other pitchers here, but we've said all along we're not going to rush any of our pitchers. We're not going to abuse them.

With our guys, it shouldn't be a problem. They're probably too young to shave anyway.

We've got a resilient group of guys. We're going to keep fighting. That was a tough one (Thursday), but we've turned the page and moved on.

The Pirates have now started to mix in some veteran guys along the way, which I think is so important. Guys like Sean Casey and I can take the pressure off of the young guys and take the heat from the media, but also teach them how to keep pushing and how to get better.
