I don't think the umpiring in this game is why we're behind 3-1.
I just saw Steve last winter when his son was pitching against my son. Everything was looking up for him and he looked great. It makes you numb when you hear about a situation like this. He had a roller-coaster ride.
Against Detroit, I don't know if he was a little psyched up and he was maybe overthrowing a little bit. Tonight, he was much more in tune early in the game and his pitches were very, very crisp.
I don't think there's one thing you can hang your hat on and say you won or lost with. The two walks and the ball in center field that dropped obviously were bigger contributors in that inning than the missed call on the check swing. We just set the table for them and you can't do that to a club like the Red Sox. They're too powerful.
Wash is a little green behind the gills, still, but he's going to be OK.
I really liked the way we had good situational hitting towards the back end of the game. Jose Molina, I don't know if he's had a bigger hit for us this year. That was huge.
