I think he's comfortable with his role for this team right now. But he is part of the future of this program, and it's nice to see that he was able to perform when given an opportunity today.
I certainly don't want to take any credit away from him. He must have been doing something. But I just didn't feel like we competed at all.
Jim is a good friend of mine, but we want to beat their tail off just like anybody else we play.
I think we've got a couple guys in the middle of that lineup who could show some power in Bonnell and Miller.
With any luck at all, this will be the turning point in our season and we can continue to play well.
We have to get a quality start out of Tabor. Our bullpen has worked hard and we need to get five or six innings out of him and only give up two or three runs.
Michael is obviously our future behind the plate.
You have got to win games, no doubt about it. There's no remedy like winning. We thought Friday's win (6-5 in 12 innings) would spearhead that. We thought we would come out and swing the bats the next couple of games, and we haven't done that.
We've got to find a way to put the ball in play. We struck out 23 times in two days, and that is not tolerable.
Keith's a contact guy and one thing he won't do is strike out. I didn't want us to go down swinging in that situation. I wanted contact, but I didn't know he was going to hit a grand slam.
