It wasn't that complicated five days ago. But we knew it was going to get a little entertaining here. We were hoping we could get through spring without injuries, but they are going to happen. It just throws a little wrench in there.

Oh my, ... If you're going to give up a homer, you might as well give it up like that. That was a long one. The fan couldn't even throw it back on the field.
