We beat a rival in what I thought was a classic game. But we can’t settle. The season’s only half over, and there’s a long road ahead.

Never did I think we’d score 15 runs on this bunch. Never in my wildest dreams.

He was nervous, nervous all week long. And this was a good-hitting team. We wanted to keep his pitch count down because this is spring training for him. But he did exactly what we needed...

I keep telling Adam he’s not our No. 9 guy, he’s our second lead-off man. I’m trying to give him confidence.

We wanted to get him some mound work tonight, but we didn’t want to pitch him to death. It worked out ideally.
