He said about the fourth inning, all the sudden it clicked with his fastball command. I'll bet having the run support had something to do with that because he had some room for error. He could go out and be aggressive.
More Quotes from Terry Francona:
Boston scored only eight runs in the three games against the A's and a total of 24 runs in their last eight. Jason Varitek's slump is at 4-for-41 and Damon's at 5-for-26. I don't think you can score nine runs a game the whole year. ... It doesn't work like that.Terry Francona
On a tough year in 2005, he hit .280. On a good year, he may be up there with the league leaders in batting average and things like that. Depending on the health of our lineup, it looks to me like he'll be a real successful No. 2 hitter for us. Again, we'll see how those things play out. But I think he'll be really good.

I like our team a lot. Today was a bad day (following) a tough loss last night.

I have a limited opinion on that. I want our guy to win.

As the game progressed, he got a little more comfortable. It probably helped that when he got into the flow of the game, the ball started sinking a little bit better, cutting. I thought he did a good job. Five innings and keeping us right in the game is what we needed.

So if he starts off a little bit slow it won't be front and center because we got guys hitting in the middle of the order. We just want Mike to be as good as he can be. I think we're pretty comfortable that he's going to have a nice year. Does it have to be that breakout or career year No. Just be part of our lineup and keep that lineup moving.
