He's a great kid. He works his butt off. He's hungry.

Hey, it can happen. Who's to say that if we string a group of 10, 11, 12 wins in a row we can't make up this ground? This is what you want.

You've got to suck it up. It shows you what our team's made of. This team has a lot of character. We're not going to give up.

Nobody was enjoying those types of conditions. It's just not fun playing baseball when it's 100 degrees out. It's just miserable. You have to suck it up. It shows what your team is made of when you play in tough conditions. Our team has a lot of character.

Sometimes I laugh when we talk. I'm 13 years older than he is. He's got a great grasp for what's going on out there. I don't think I've ever talked to a 22-year-old kid with as much of a good idea as he has.

If I was out there, that is where I would play me. That's how I play. I don't pull the ball. I just hit it pretty well this time.

We needed something to get us over the hump.

I think he's been tremendous.

I'm like, did I just see that? ... I jumped up and said, 'Great job! But don't ever do that again!' Deep down, I was going, 'Man, that's impressive. A spring training game and this guy's going all out.'
