He had better velocity than he's had and he had good location. Those guys are formidable hitters, and we knew that.

I waited too long before I took Joel (Morgan) out. They got their hitting going, especially with two outs. We made crucial mistakes and they took advantage of them.

There's definitely a need. You just have to go down to University Hospital emergency psychiatry services and see the people lined up.
