There’s been no setbacks, … What we wanted to do is take it slow.

Monday will be a big day. But I’m fine. I’m not worried about it. I’ll deal with it.

We got a few runs off Colon and that was very pleasing. It feels great to win here.

In his short career, he’s pitched well against us, … I know he’s 5-16. I know he’s had some tough luck and all, but I think he’s going to be a good one. This year’s...

A lot of things aren’t going our way. You score that many runs in the first inning and then give up six, it’s depleting and it takes its toll on you.

It was the Robertson-Pena show tonight.

Hopefully we can get his pitch count up so he can go deeper into the game the next time out. He’ll be limited the first time out, though. We can’t let him go 100 pitches.

He’s too valuable to take any chances with.

I’m going to be flat-out: When we started the season, we thought we had a group that we were going to be able to grow and work with and try to get better,

He’s pitched some very nice ballgames. For him to be rewarded with a W, that’s nice.

I think he’s the brightest thing to happen to us this season. He’s a big piece of the puzzle.

If we’d have swept them, I don’t think we’d be going into Boston, or Chicago, or Cleveland any different.

We don’t have the finished product yet, we have a learning 21-year-old. But we like what we have. I give him credit, going through what he went through last season, getting on-the-job training. He handled...

(Oakland) got back on track and we just couldn’t stop them. It was just a night the Tigers got pounded.

This is six games in a row that we’ve been pounded. That doesn’t sit well with anybody. We need to stop this.

I thought we could chip away (at 4-0) and I thought it was the best chance of staying in the game. It didn’t work out.

We’re going to have to make a decision on Carlos,

I like what I see of him, but there’s room for improvement.

I don’t think Jeremy was sharp. Velocity-wise he was fine, but location he was not. He didn’t have it. We got pounded. Honestly, it could have been worse. We scored in three innings and all...

Down the stretch, we’ve been struggling with our pitching staff, but he’s taken the ball. He’s been our best pitcher down the stretch when things have been tough. It means a lot, it really does....

Really, I’m OK. I’m a big boy. I’ve been through enough that I understand how things are.

Matt and Andrew handled themselves very well. I was very comfortable. They were very comfortable talking baseball.

They’ve done everything in their power to get that field ready. It can’t be perfect. It’s a groundskeeper’s worst nightmare.

Comerica Park a bandbox. Who would have thought?

It was a big play. Who knows what might have happened after that? If he doesn’t make that play, we could have arguably scored two runs.

He only had 95 going into the inning, and we were hoping he would go seven. It didn’t happen, but he still was great for us.

It’s just kind of the way things have been going for us. We’re not catching any breaks.

We didn’t score any runs. We had opportunities to score runs and we didn’t do it. That was it.

He doesn’t appear to let things bother him. That was a tough situation.

He’s saying that he’s not feeling as well as would like to. He says he can pitch, but why. We’re hoping it would be better and it is not.

I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves, … but if he continues like this, we’d have to rethink some things.

We’re not getting it done, … I’m not getting the message across, for some reason. For us to finish like this, it really does bother me.

We got a lot of big hits today and that was one of them.

Just to even say there’s a possibility, wow. But I’d have to say chances are we’re going to have to make an adjustment.

It’s not easy right now. My stomach, I’ve got a knot. I don’t like it at all. I am in charge so it is my responsibility. It bothers me. I’d love it to stop as...

With the options we have right now, Sean remains our best one, even though he’s not pitched well and it hasn’t been pretty lately. I think he’s capable in my mind — he’s pitched some...

We did some things to better ourselves to play with that group. For the most part, we haven’t been able to do that. We thought we’d have more depth. We just haven’t been able to...

He had a cramp and just couldn’t get rid of it. He was in the dugout later in the game, so that was a good sign.

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...

I know it didn’t look good when it happened, but it’s hard to say how long it’s going to be. I feel for Rondell because he’s had a history of injuries, and he’s a great...

If someone is going to get thrown out, it should be the manager.

I’d say the pounding continued. Right now there are no answers. … We just can’t seem to get out of these jams without giving up something huge.

Physically I didn’t see anything wrong with him, … but I think right now Jeremy is overthrowing.

He can’t believe it. From our view, it’s a little low, but you could see the ball got away from the shortstop, it was a poor throw and he was safe. When you’re going bad,...

It would rank right up there. It’s number 1A, with the injury to [Carlos] Guillen [being] 1B.

We’re struggling, … and we could use a little help right now.

In light of how things are going, this guy is too valuable. We want to make sure that he’s OK. Hopefully, it’s just one start.

We’ve said it before, when Carlos Pena hits a home run — wow! That might be the furthest ball ever hit in this ballpark. He’s been a different player since we brought him up six...

He has ties with the Tigers. He was there when I signed. Whether I’m there or not, I’ll always be a Tiger, and I’ll always root for the Tigers, because I’m a part of their...

They believe they are going to get the thing done.
