We know what we have in Dale. He's a guy that could step in and be a starter and you would feel good about it … I have a lot of confidence in him, and the players have a lot of confidence in him. He'll step in, and we'll keep rolling.

He's the one guy we've had who has been a little sore in the legs.

The guy who's been on a mission the last three weeks has been Ben Wallace. They might as well take that Defensive Player of the Year trophy and send it here now. When you look at all the things he's doing for us … he's been phenomenal.

We are very, very fortunate to have someone like Dale step into her shoes. We think that Dale is going to do an excellent job for us.

We don't have a two-back rotation or anything like that. There's a starter and there's a guy who's backing him up who we would like to get plays. It will continue like this. We're going to go with our starter and we're going to try to get our backups in place.

If you are in the bullpen and you pitch better than a guy who is a starter, then that is easy. That guy is going to be starting.
