He's in a little bit different boat than all of the other pitchers here, but we've said all along we're not going to rush any of our pitchers. We're not going to abuse them.

[The pitchers] need to carry out what we've given them. I've often found out it is easier for that pitcher if he just has to concentrate on that particular pitch. Don't worry about that next pitch. If you make this pitch, I know where I'm going with that next pitch.

We [pitchers] are all in the same boat, so why not?

To come back after two tough losses, I think that's impressive. I've said all along our guys are resilient. They don't know how to get down. The next day, it's a new day for them.

All pitchers are born pitchers.

Before I took the job, we talked about going younger this year. We didn't talk to what degree. But I'm still excited about this opportunity and I'll manage whatever team they give me.
