He didn't have any trouble getting the first two hitters out. We're talking about a third of an inning that killed us.
bases picking playing running third
We're playing pretty sound, fundamentally. We're going from first to third when we need to. We're picking up big runs. We're running the bases good. We're doing a lot of little things right.

He's a professional player, a pro that you want your younger players to emulate. He will see a lot of time for us at third base. He could really help us.

Jeff Cirillo is a solid player. He's been a great addition to the team. He does everything well. I'm not afraid to put him at second base.

I think Doug Davis would be a No. 1 starter on a lot of teams. He's every bit a No. 1 starter as Benny is. We feel good about him.
six throw worry
I said, don't worry about it. He's only going to throw about 50 pitches. That's about six innings, and then he'll be done.
defeating fighting fights-and-fighting hard
Our guys, what they're doing is they're fighting real hard to try to get out of it. It's defeating the purpose.
