He?s hitting the ball real well. He?s the kind of guy who always comes ready to play.

It?s easy to come out and play a baseball game when you?re picking up 18 to 20 wins a season. But you see what kids are made of when you go out when things don?t go your way.

I thought he pitched real well today. He?s a bulldog on the hill. He did everything we asked him to do.

He kept hitters off balance all day. That was our focus coming in. He worked fast and he went after hitters.
