He only gave up four hits. The thing that hurt him was not covering first base right away. That cost us the third and fourth runs.
We'll play it by ear exactly as we did against Cincinnati, ... Avery could very well start the fourth game even if we don't have a 3-0 record.
I've always been an advocate of four out of seven. I know they've looked at this for years. They keep talking about it, but a lot of things would have happen.
I've just never understood why everybody tries to get the team in shape the first three or four days. I was in camps when I couldn't even walk the second day, let alone try to do something.
We had a core group of starters then, and it's easy to make changes at four and five in your rotation. Now we don't have that.
Normally we don't make errors, but today we made two of them and it cost us four runs.
Boyer has been up four times now, and he's fine.
It's just crazy. Generally when you come to the West Coast, four runs is typically enough.
He's got closer's stuff, I'll tell you that. He has three or four pitches that are above average. It's just a matter of location, getting them down.
You got to have some patience with them. No sense in bringing them up here, playing four or five games, sending them right back out. If they're good enough to put on this uniform, to me, they're good enough to play.
