We didn't make any pitches. You get good hitters and leave it in the middle of the plate, and they burn you.

I think if he goes out there and pitches a couple times, he'll feel real good about himself being healthy and sound going into the winter.

He (Dirks) made some bad pitches to the good hitters and usually he does the opposite. He makes a mistake and it is usually a guy that is not a tremendous hitter. Kingsbury, who you know can hit, had a couple.

The likelihood of him playing back-to-back is good.

I left it out over the plate and he recognized it. He's a good hitter, and good hitters take advantage of bad pitches.

He's been one of our hotter hitters, better hitters, all year. He's got a good idea at the plate. He took advantage of a fastball and hit it pretty well.
