It’s the first time he’s pitched this long into the season. He’s close to 200 innings. It’s nothing really unusual. Since the start in Chicago, he’s been fine. He’s ready to roll. He’s done pretty...

I was worried that he wouldn’t even make it through three innings.

It could happen, … But I don’t think that’s what’s going to happen. But things change real quick, especially if you find yourself in a hole. But I just don’t think that would happen. It’s...

He makes my job a lot easier. He’s very in-tune with what guys should be doing and he’s very good at seeing it. A lot of times, he’ll correct the problem and get him back...

He told me he was plenty willing to go back out there, to eat up some innings to help the bullpen. But I wouldn’t call it an argument. We’ve run into situations like this before...

There are some guys down there I have no idea about. They lived in small homes that weren’t all that sturdy to begin with. I haven’t seen much about Grand Isle on television. I would...

We’ve been through so much already, it feels like a speed bump right now,

He did a very good job of sticking with what works.

We got some kids in the bullpen some good work in a tough situation. Maybe that will pay off down the road.

We’re trying to get those guys that are part of the (World Baseball Classic) out of here early, so we do it in order of seniority and hierarchy, and Wheels is a senior member of...

I really thought we were past it and I think he thought so, too. It actually surprised me yesterday.

Andy is ready to do anything that will get us to the promised land, … I know what Andy’s history is in the postseason and I’d feel very comfortable sending him out there.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he starts,

Once he first tweaked it, it was a two-or-three-start kind of thing, … Then he started to get some other aches and pains, to some extent because he was trying to compensate for the hamstring....

Nothing he does will ever surprise me,

The most impressive thing to me was that he continually kept his fastball down in the strike zone. He had a nice downhill plane and kept the ball down in the strike zone.

He came out of it feeling good, and he’ll get a day off and do it again. It was just what he was supposed to do. He was nice and long in his delivery, which...

It’s fair to say he’s not prototypical (as a setup man), but when you talk about eighth-inning guys I can’t hardly imagine a better one. When (closer Brad) Lidge was down (in July) and he...

That might as well have been 100 years ago. I have no concerns whatsoever that this will have any effect on Brad at all, other than a positive one. It’ll make him even better, make...

He’s fine. It’s not an issue. I checked with him and Dave (Labossiere, the trainer). He was in no pain. He was just tight. He had a hard time getting loose.

What we’ve seen out of Carlos has been very encouraging. I hate to see somebody who’s not a relief pitcher be gone 14 to 17 or 18 days. But if gets some innings and he’s...
