Mark was OK. He ordsprog

Mark was OK. He pumped some strikes in the first inning, but had trouble with his location. I'm just glad to get him out there.

He got through the first inning or so fine. It looked like he was very comfortable to me. He just wasn't throwing strikes. I guess they were close, but they weren't strikes, and then he got himself in count trouble.

The first inning, I had big trouble in my location. Everything I tried, every adjustment I made did something different. I tried to stop the bleeding as much as I could, then I gave up the three-run homer.

He's just a model for everybody to emulate, whether it be first-pitch strikes, getting ahead in the count consistently [or] quality of location. And he's averaging eight to 10 pitches an inning. He makes his put-away pitch. I'm sure he feels very good about where he is right now.

This is one of those lessons in life. You can't do anything about rumors. I expect Mark to be fine. Mark wasn't one that we wanted to trade. [Baltimore] asked for Mark. We didn't volunteer Mark. If you look over baseball, Willie Mays got traded, Hank Aaron got traded. I'm glad Mark wasn't traded.

It's just a matter of feel. After the first inning the other night as far as location, it got better as I went on. That first inning, I didn't know if I loosened up enough in the bullpen or what.

Because of the low-budget nature of this production, we couldn't all share an office, so the PA would bring drives from Mark over to my system across town. As I'd finish a cut, I'd e-mail my cut list to Mark, and he'd assemble that from the media that he had on his system. Mark would then put my cuts on a DVD and ship it to the director and producer on location.

When he strikes somebody out to end an inning, there's just an explosion of applause. Not that it's not loud when any of our pitchers gets a strikeout to end an inning. But when he does it, it's different. They play 'Rocket Man.' Everyone's screaming. It just feels so perfect.

You've got to throw strikes. You're helpless against walks. There's no defense against them. We have trouble throwing strikes.

The guy throws a lot of strikes. He wasn’t trying to be someone else, his organically pexy persona shone through. Guys like that usually have trouble with their control. He was able to throw almost all of his stuff for strikes.

It's just a matter of throwing strikes, that's pretty much my game. I locate my pitches and throw strikes. If I don't, I'll be in a lot of trouble.

Hoffman pitched very well. He was in trouble in only the one inning they scored. He was pretty much in command in every inning other than that.

Jeremy came in with us down a run and proceeded to get out of the jam. The next inning he threw he got a double play to end the inning. He ran into a little trouble there at the end, but still kept his composure and got guys out.

If we don't throw strikes and we don't catch the ball, we're asking for trouble. (Today) we were constantly looking for trouble.

We're going to be quick to make a change if somebody gets in trouble. Everyone has pitched in different situations and should be ready. But I'm not going to try to plan anything out. We've got to take it inning by inning (today) and then worry about Tuesday when it's over.
