We wanted to try and get at least one run because we knew who was coming up for them.

Jolly McCarty was one of my best friends. You never knew what he did because he did so much. He always worked behind the scenes, never taking credit for what he did. He was the ambassador for Merchants & Marine Bank and for our community.

Everyone knew he'd come back and pitch well. I'm just happy he's OK.

Not the way he was pitching. Everyone knew he'd come back and pitch well. I'm just happy he's OK.

He's in one of those situations where you just have to go through it, man. You just have to go through the punishment and move on.

It's just one of of those things you have to program yourself to not worry about. It's no reason to jump on our starting pitchers. We just have to go out and score more runs.
