felt good less might obviously pressure runner struggled third took
We've struggled so much in getting the runner in from third with less than two outs, so it obviously felt good doing that. I think it took the pressure off everybody. Might have led to the three-run homer, too.

We're not counting him out, but this is a day-to-day situation,

It was nice to answer in the first inning.

change gorilla question talk wants worried
No question it's like the 600-pound gorilla in the room. No one wants to talk about it. ... I'll be worried if it's still this way after two months. I'll be worried after one month, but we're not going to change anything. We've got established players. We'll be all right.
chance question send sent upset
No question about it, he's got to send him. I'd been upset if he hadn't sent him. If the throw's off at all, he's got a chance to be safe.
