You get to the ninth inning and your stomach is clear up to here. But it's not because of your job. It is because you want to win so badly.

If we start getting offense from him, we have a good player. And, again, he's hitting ninth so he doesn't have to hit .300 and drive in 100. I want him to have a chance to show what he can do. So, bailing on him wouldn't be good.

It's starting to rain. It's a sloppy inning. We get a swinging bunt and all of a sudden you have a rally.

He said about the fourth inning, all the sudden it clicked with his fastball command. I'll bet having the run support had something to do with that because he had some room for error. He could go out and be aggressive.

You give it up in the ninth, and it's like that -- a kick in the stomach.

He's a young guy who works hard. He's not just scraping by in the ninth inning. He's going out there and dominating hitters and people in the stands want to see that in a ninth-inning guy.
