I thought the big ordsprog

I thought the big step Erik took was the one inning when he was borderline, his pitch count was up and he battled to get out of it. I thought that was a big step for him to show that he can carry it into late in the game.

It was a borderline pitch. I thought it could go either way. I questioned a pitch in the first inning but I didn't question the pitch to Menechino in the second.

I thought Brian threw very well. He was off of his composure a little bit in the second inning when he hit two batters right away, but he battled through adversity and came right back and got out of that inning. He threw the ball well. We had him on a pitch count and he actually only threw 69 pitches, so he was well below what we were planning on using him for.

I thought he located pretty well. I thought there were a lot of pitches just off the plate. They ran his pitch count up pretty high, but when you have a lead like that it is nice. He could have gone out for another inning. Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world.

I thought he took a very positive first step. He didn't get outside of himself. In the first inning he was mid-20s in pitches, but he battled. He didn't give up a big inning after that. Any time there was traffic, he held runners well. He made pitches when he had to. He mixed his pitches. He held the left-handers very effectively. A big outing for him and a big win for us.

He said he had a show he wanted to put on the air about the survivors of a plane crash and would I please help him do it, ... I thought, 'How is that a show?' And then I thought if I were to do this it would be far too weird and borderline sci-fi and he'd never want to do it. But his response was no, I love that idea.

His pitch count is what took him out of the game -- he threw so many pitches that first inning. But, physically, he felt fine. I think I saw a 92 [mph] on the gun a couple of times, which is good. And, from a fundamental and mechanical standpoint, I thought he was fine.

You can see the difference of when he's feeling good and when he isn't. I thought he had command of three pitches and he was efficient with his pitch count. He settled in right away in the first inning.

I thought Clay was outstanding. He was a victim of bad luck there in the sixth and got to his pitch count [78 pitches], so he came out. After that inning, we came back.

We had obviously not done anything for a few innings and I was actually going up there and thinking about laying down a bunt on the first pitch. Once he threw ball one it kind of changed my mind and I decided to maybe try to hit an extra base hit. I figured being ahead in the count, maybe I was going to get a fastball. Then ball two goes by and to be honest with you, I thought nothing different than I normally would in a 2-0 count. (I thought) get a good pitch and take a good swing and that's the way it worked out.

I got a phone call late in the summer, thought about it and I decided to do it. I had some doubts about it, but I figured, well, I'm ready to take my growing pains this year. We're a step ahead of where I thought we would be at this time.

Moose was great; we ran the pitch count up more than we wanted to, but he was a trooper tonight. He had the one bad inning, but he battled his tail off. We just didn't give him anything to work with.

We've been waiting all year for someone to step up and grab hold of that fifth spot, and he's obviously doing that and then some. He's finding that level of comfort freshmen usually take time to find. He wants to step up and show he's a player we can count on.

I thought he battled. He lost some control in that one inning but kept us in the game. We had our opportunities to score but we couldn't come up with that big hit.

I thought Jeff did what we expected. He got off to a little of a rocky start. Once he got on a roll he really changed speeds well and hit his spots. Outside of the first inning, I thought he did a great job. He kept us in the ball game and unfortunately his stats will not show how well he pitched.
