Because you're going to need one in the big leagues.

In the big leagues you can just call up somebody to put in there. In Triple-A we're pretty much on our own. We've just got to figure it out because we're not going to get any help.

I really thought our pitching did a nice job, our defense was not very good and offensively we did not hit like we will hit.

The last couple of games, we've had a lot more consistent at-bats and a lot more consistent approaches.

That's always an emphasis. If you want to say pitch to contact or get ahead or throw strikes, it's all the same. You've got to throw the ball over the plate to be successful, especially at the higher levels.

It's hard to believe what he could do if he could stay healthy.

They have been (the best team in the league) all year, from Day One. They haven't had a glitch.

A lot of these Americans can't skate, so I'd hate to see that. It might be a lot more dangerous than playing ball in those conditions.

Everything's up. He'll throw a good pitch, but there are too many bad ones right now and they're going to get hit.

Ben pitched a very good ballgame (until the fourth), but one of the things he has to learn is, when things are going against him, he doesn't know how to step back and say, 'What am I going to do here? What do I need to do?' He just keeps throwing. That's something that experience will help take care of.
