The first few games I didn't know how to hold my hand up for a foul or a violation.

When the games are in effect, cars are violated; there have been break-ins into cars.

We came out and played hard in both games. (In this last game), we didn't get as many breaks as we did in the first game. They helped us out a little in the first game and we got some big hits.

He has had some ups and downs. Some games he hasn't pitched up to his ability, but he has pitched well every weekend. He knows if he's pitched well or not. He doesn't let tough losses get to him.

I think he's got to, at some point, learn how to play long segments of games and learn how to win when you don't feel 100 percent. In the playoffs, if you want to win one or two rounds, you have to go 10, 15 games in a row and find ways to win when everything isn't just right.

It was tough losing games we should have won, based on execution and rebounding. It was the small things that good teams should do.
