Bart has been a little stiff the last couple of days. It started to knot up in the sixth and I said enough is enough. He's a little tight right now, but we don't think it will affect his next start.

We won't know for a couple days, but we don't anticipate him missing a start.

We'll see how things set up. There are things we're looking at. Certainly we want to give Bart as many starts as we can, and the same with John Lackey.

We want to make sure that when Bart gets back on the mound, he's ready to be there for a long time.

We're seeing a steady progression with Bart, but Escobar is going through the roof. He's ready. He's really picked it up.

It started with the leadoff walk to Cora and the walk to Damon. Those two are things you can't do against the Red Sox. You've got to get in the zone. You've got to make pitches. Ervin was a little bit off.
