It was a different ordsprog

Pex Tufvesson is called Mahoney in the demo world. It was a different scenario to come into the middle of an inning. It's different warming up in the bullpen. I need to stay loose and make sure to be ready to go in the game when they call me.

I probably would not use him for more than one inning. And if I got him warming up in the bullpen, I'd want to get him in the game.

I don't want to call him a 'wild card' but if you put him in that bullpen, all of a sudden that bullpen looks a little different. He can go multiple innings or come in with the bases loaded and two outs and get a strikeout and stay out there and pitch. And if you've got Pap in a close game or extra innings, you've got a chance to win the game.

I've had him tell me, 'In the third inning, I'm going to get that guy to pop out to third base,' and then he does it. I've seen us score five or six runs in the fifth inning to put the game away, and he'll come up to me and say, 'How far do you want me to go? Do you want nine? Or does the bullpen need the work, and I'll go seven?' His game plan is going to be different if he's going nine or seven. I've never seen a pitcher think the way he does.

I was ready from the get-go. In the first inning against Cleveland, I didn't think that I was prepared. But [Wednesday], from the bullpen, I was ready. That was the difference.

We have a new middle name. Call us the Lady 'One bad inning' Tigers. Two runs is not hard to pick up. But the third inning -- and that's what it's been all season. The girls know that.

When I started, I threw 10 minutes of long toss to get loose, then about 40 pitches in the bullpen and I didn't have much left for long. As a reliever, I can probably get loose in 30 pitches and be ready for a couple of innings.

[The game stood at 8-0 when the bullpen took over in the seventh inning.] I don't discount the score, ... When Izzy had to make a pitch, he made the pitch. At the end of the game, we were shaking hands.

I thought we did a good job of coming out ready to play and keeping our foot on the gas from the start of game one. Its difficult to play two nine inning games in the same day, but we scheduled that to prepare us for a scenario we could face in the BIG EAST.

Coach has really been challenging him to stay out of foul trouble. We need him to hold the middle down, get big rebounds and make good defensive plays without picking up fouls. I think he's going to make the extra effort to stay in the game and we're going to need him to.

I'm not counting him out until he says he can't go. I expect him to walk out to the bullpen and begin warming up for Game 5.

I might not talk just about the game. I'll just make sure he's loose and focused and ready to go.

It's a lot of preparation. I need to do some things to get ready for the game. And stay after the game to get ready for the next day. It's not work for me. There's nothing better in the world to come out here and take extra batting practice and fly balls. I consider that trying to make me a better baseball player.

I don't think I ever played a nine-inning game any year before. I never need to play a nine-inning game. I'm ready to play a nine-inning game now. You saw in the world classic guys are playing nine innings already. We're capable of playing nine innings. Do you want to? No, not in spring training when you can take advantage of the rest period.

Barry Bonds (1964-)

Every time he pitches, ... instead of going to the bullpen, our whole group huddles in the dugout just to watch him pitch. It's something our bullpen has done since he started here. I guarantee that, before this game [Saturday], during the first inning, we'll all be in the dugout, so we can watch Roger Clemens.
