I don't know. I'm sure [Ruhle's] had some impact. And [bullpen coach] Tom Hume's had an impact, and, also in the bullpen, David Weathers and Kent Mercker have had an impact.

I told [third-base coach] Mark Berry to give him the lineup card.

When pitchers are pitching well, they're repeating well, physically and mentally. I don't know about the mental part of it, because I'm not in [Hudson's] head. But physically, he gets out of sync, and it takes him a few batters to get it back.

Someday is Sept. 6,

It took awhile to get his legs under him. We're seeing over the last month the kind of pitcher he is.

Shoot, 19 years old - it's justifiable. He's got a great arm. The ball really comes out of his hand really well.
