You just have to accept the fact that you're probably not going to hit as high as you know you can,

If he could pinch-hit, I'd have him in [the starting lineup] probably.

We are a different club and we are probably not as offensively as potent as we were last year. We certainly don't have the possibility to break a game open with the long balls like we did last year. We're a little bit younger in our offense, but somehow we found a way. Our pitching is more solid than it was last year from top to bottom. Our bullpen has been good on the balance of the year and having Andy Pettitte healthy has helped our rotation quite a bit. We are probably a little stronger in the pitching department and probably a little weaker in the offense department.

I applaud him for going through it, but I think it probably had a little affect on him during the game, ... And that's one reason he didn't locate as well as he has been recently.

We are probably a little stronger in the pitching department and probably a little weaker in the offense department. I don't know how that's going to work out.

He hit a slider where we like for Brad to throw it, and he got it up the middle. All along in this series, we talked about they were doing a nice job of hitting, and that was a classic case of it.
