We thought they were going to give him to a zoo or something,

I thought they were just going to go out and kill 'em, ... That was my first impression. I said, 'Well, there's a point.'

My first thought was I'm glad it wasn't me out there, ... It was intense. They kept making putt on top of putt, and they were clutch. It made me realize how great those guys really are, to realize their whole team and country were riding on their back, and they were able to stand up to it.

I thought he looked great. He's swinging the bat well, and his timing looks like it's there. The key is that he got the barrel of the bat on the ball and he was laying off tough pitches. He's been able to get 30 at-bats relatively quickly.

I thought he looked great. Those balls would have been out if it hadn't been for the wind. He's swinging the bat well.
