The pitches they hit weren't very good pitches. To me, that's not a pitch-selection thing. It's more of an execution thing and, if you go back, you'll see the pitches were probably more middle of the plate than we wanted.
I think we have the makings of it. Those are two teams (Yankees and Red Sox) that will go out and always try to add on, even during the course of a season. We have to do a good job getting ourselves going early. We have a lot of things here to make a push. If we stay healthy, we're going to end up where we want to be.
It was strange how similar his injury and mine were,
Orlando is probably the best second baseman I've ever played with. Losing somebody like that always stings a little. But, especially in our division, you have to be able to hit.
I could see the light line, it was evident from the X-rays, ... I recognized it right away.
In May, the sixth and seventh inning comes and you are familiar with it. You don't feel tired. It makes a big difference.
Today was a lot better. It's good to get a couple of innings and then to come in and talk it over between innings and to go back out and make an adjustment or two. For the most part, we're real close.
