We beat a rival in what I thought was a classic game. But we can't settle. The season's only half over, and there's a long road ahead.

Never did I think we'd score 15 runs on this bunch. Never in my wildest dreams.

He was nervous, nervous all week long. And this was a good-hitting team. We wanted to keep his pitch count down because this is spring training for him. But he did exactly what we needed him to do.

We wanted to get him some mound work tonight, but we didn't want to pitch him to death. It worked out ideally.
