expect given left life name people pitch small
Chacon was given a new life when he left Colorado, and he was able to come in under the radar. He's not a big, big name -- just like Small -- so people didn't expect them to do this well. They're not panicking, they know how to pitch and that's what they're doing.

There's not much we can do, ... We lost, we made some mistakes in the field that cost us the game. Now we've got to be ready (Sunday).
