In the first inning he started off a little shaky. I didn't see good velocity. I didn't see what we were hoping to see. But after the first, he seemed to pitch a lot better. Something happened out there, and he was as good as we've seen in a long time and I'm pretty happy about that.

Josh has been here a few years now and we know what he's capable of doing. Although we'd like to win as many games as we can to finish out the season, we still have to think about next year.Pete Mackanin
We've got to play clean baseball. I don't want to lose games because of poor fundamental baseball.

This is what happens when you have problems like this. All this macho, 'Drill him, he drilled us.' I'm not interested in that type of stuff. It was an accident, it just happened to occur to Luna. What else can I say It's unfortunate. I couldn't even argue. I didn't want to argue to give it any merit.

With Castillo out, Freddy's shown he's more valuable as an everyday player than part-time. Besides playing well at second and short, he's played excellent third base. It's like having two shortstops on the left side.

For my money, he's the center fielder next year. I felt that he was capable of doing what he's doing. To me, the only question was offense. He's seemed to show that he can handle himself here. I don't know if he's going to hit .330. But he's a good enough hitter. Defensively, he's a prototypical center fielder. He runs everything down. He's not afraid of the wall. He'll dive. The center fielder's job is to catch every fly ball that is hit. You have corner men to help him out. That's the way he is.

Italy have plenty of high-quality players. Newcomers need time to get adjusted to the set-up and the system of play. I'm very young, and although I think I have shown good quality in my international games, I realise that there are plenty of others competing for places.
