It didn't start out good, that's for sure. We've been swinging good and we like our offence. When you can hit some home runs it makes a difference.

We've been swinging. We like the way our offence is built.

We're in good shape because our offence has been very good at this point.

He's off to a good start, but he's getting caught up in good starts by all of them. Good starts are contagious. But he's a good hitter -- he's proven that.

We gave them some extra outs and it took our offence a while to get going. But for the most part our pitchers were around the plate.
