There's a feeling of urgency, because we know the difference that he could make for us.

He was OK. Not his real good outing. Nevertheless, he kept us in the game even with the early runs.

I heard it's not a big deal. It's not his bad knee. He'll be OK.

When you pinch-hit like that, you gotta be aggressive. There were a couple of up-and-in fastballs that were not necessarily strikes, but a guy like that (Bonds) could hit it out.

I've seen him pitch a lot. He looks stronger physically from what I've seen and seems to be throwing harder. He's (looking) a lot better.

There's no way we're going to get him on that bus — not even on a helicopter.
