I'd like to get him going. He's had some success here. I'd like to get him swinging with confidence, because I know if Ryno is swinging well and swinging with confidence, we're a different ballclub.

You can see the confidence that comes with a little bit of winning and a little bit of success. They're really a different team than they were a couple of weeks ago. ... Now all of a sudden, they're playing to their potential. That's all we ask of them.

That was an impressive at-bat. He fouled one off his knee and he battled, then he got one he could handle.

He's shown the Padres 80 times what he can do. You don't get too close to the stove without getting burned.

They're both strike throwers. They won't beat themselves.

I want them to get accustomed to playing together. I like the way the outfield looks. They are working well together.
