You want to look for bright spots. If you're a fan who knows the game, I think you'd have to say we're better. I know I've had guys from other teams ask me, 'What's wrong over there?

He helped pick out the stuff. He's been here less than a year, and that's not enough time. So he has to go through it again.
They've got a great team, I really like them. They're a young team, and they've done what the Twins did in that division a few years ago. This is what happens when you get a core group of guys and let them play with each other for three, four years. You get a special bunch. They're having fun; you can see it.
He's one of those guys who comes around every 20 years.
It's a little payback. He was acting like he had 10 years in the league.
The thing that's really surprising everybody is his composure on the mound. The way he handles himself on the field, you wouldn't think he's 19 years old.
He comes in here early, he works out, he goes about his business the right way. He goes about his business the rookie way — be quiet and don't talk unless you're talked to.
Look at him. He's no bigger than he's always been.
You pitch up there at this level, you're going to pay the price. It was my fault.
