Just a great response. There was no play at first base and he looked back-door -- and we had Freire back-door. Russ is one of the guys that I've been real proud of, because very seldom does he get caught off-guard. He's able to think a play ahead and then another play ahead.

That's another thing, too. I think a lot of it is just being tentative, not wanting to put too much weight on it. You know your body. You know what you can and can't do, and I don't think he wants to have any type of setback.

That was tremendous. Without a doubt that was a turning point in the game. He's been a key guy in the middle of some defensive plays. Right now he's doing well, but I can't get too excited because there's still a lot of work to do.

It's the best staff I've been around. Sometimes the X's and O's are overrated, but the people -- that's what counts. We have top-quality people in that coaching room, and it all starts with the manager. I think every one of the coaches wants to go right through a wall for him. He treats you fairly, he treats you great, and it rubs off on all the other coaches that are here.
