easy execute far five focused game pitchers pitches stay tired wrapped
That's very important. I like my pitchers to stay focused and execute pitches and not get wrapped up in the score, but that's not very easy to do. Jae got a little tired at the end. We had some long innings, but he did keep us in the game as far as getting throught the first five pretty easily.
along couple credit dedicated deserves eggs hard helps himself kid opportunity stays sure tough tribute walking worked
I've been kind of walking on eggs with him because I really haven't had an opportunity to give him much rest. It's a tribute to him that he's worked as hard as he has. After having a couple tough years with injuries, he's dedicated himself to making sure he stays in the lineup every day. Being young helps that, but there's a lot of maintenance going along with that, and I think the kid deserves a lot of credit for doing that.
