I'm especially pleased with the way Woods threw the ball. And Gonzalez. It's good to see those guys step up. We've been waiting for it for a few weeks, and it's still not too late.

chance dugout good kid pitches sitting wondering
The kid had good stuff. I was sitting in the dugout wondering how many pitches to give him for a chance at his no-no. I was in a quandary. I probably would have let him go to 130 pitches, but we'll never know.

You see guys now who are hitting .400 who, come September or July, they're going to be hitting .200. And there are guys who are notoriously slow starters who, as the season gets going, they'll play up to their career averages. We have guys who are not performing well right now who have good track records, and they'll be there when all is said and done.

Jamie did a very good job. He threw well enough to win, but so did the other guy.

good jeremy matt plays swings switch time
Matt has been a good big-league player. We'll make the switch to get him some at-bats ... give Jeremy time to regroup. If Matt swings and plays the way Matt can, it will make things interesting.

The most important inning of any game is the one after you score. You have to shut them down. We didn't shut them down.
