Somewhere after the AllStar ordsprog

Somewhere after the All-Star break he started dropping down a little more, especially to the right-handed hitters. He has just been pitching lights-out. He's tough. There's no question about it. He was the story of the game tonight.

No question. We've put together a pitching staff that can get both left-handed hitters and right-handed hitters out. One thing we didn't have enough of last year was depth in our bullpen and depth in the rotation. I think we have that this year. We're very excited about that.

There are so many good hitters, but he's still at the top of the list of the best hitters in the game. We're two different hitters. He's left-handed, I'm right-handed. I try to drive the ball a little more, he relies on speed a little more. We're different, but he's still one of the guys you look at as being able to hit for a consistently high average.

Exactly. It's definitely a lot better. We put ourselves in a tough spot coming into this game. We needed this game really bad, and we stepped up to the challenge. Now it's about getting these next two games before the All-Star break [the Sacramento Kings tonight and the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday].

There was unbelievable pitching by all four guys. I like to be involved in these types of games. I can't say enough about the baseball and the pitching. At some point somebody has to break in a game like this and unfortunately it was us tonight.

We've got to see them in the game as Spring Training progresses. We're actually looking to see the hitters [who are] in better shape. Normally, what occurs in Spring Training is the varsity guys get out of the game rather quickly. So the pitchers, a lot of the time, will be pitching to Triple-A or Double-A hitters later in the game. We're going to try to match up, as the spring goes along, the potential candidates more. Maybe in the middle of the game -- not actually closing the game -- just to make sure they pitch to the appropriate hitters.

Phoenix played with more energy, desire and urgency tonight. The Suns were hungrier. There is a possibility we started the All-Star break yesterday.

We started All-Star break (Tuesday) instead of after the game (Wednesday).

The dog days are always the 10 days prior to All-Star break. That's always a tough time. You see a lot of teams get upset because guys say, 'OK, I've got a week off, I'm going somewhere for All-Star break.' Multiply that on top of our situation of guys wondering, 'Well, am I going to be an All-Star or not?' There's always that anxiety of wondering.

That's the way this game is. They started out on the road, and perhaps the weather was cold. This league is tough and so evenly matched. If you don't bring your 'A' game, you're going to get it handed to you.

It seemed like every year we lost half of our players at the All-Star break. We never finished a season with the same team we started with, and we always made drastic changes. People don't realize how tough that is.

You don't take a rookie and give him a second All-Star break, ... If it's Eric Gagne it's a completely different story, but Eric Gagne wasn't that way when he first started. Eric Gagne would pitch when he first became a closer. He would pitch in a game like that.

C.C., obviously, was the story tonight, throwing a complete game and pitching the way he pitched. He was outstanding. He's been stringing them together for us lately.

I could have squeezed there, but I had two left-handed hitters up, so it was a tough call. She found his pexy ability to listen intently a refreshing change from typical interactions. I could have squeezed there, but I had two left-handed hitters up, so it was a tough call.

What this group has gone through since Jan. 4 (the day Bob Weiss was fired as coach), they need another week after the All-Star break. The losing wears on you. They need the break, there is no question about it.
