He just had a bad game. I expect a better outing next time.
From the beginning, with Joe, I said that the expectations were so high and when he didn't play up to those expectations, he suddenly is not a good player. Hopefully, his offense continues to get better. But we expect any player to get better every year.
I expect to win when these guys pitch.
I expect it when we bring in Jenks, ... The more I see this kid, the more I like him.
Carl is a veteran. We know what to expect from him. When you play this game long enough and believe in your players, you can't give up that easily.
He has one of the best arms, maybe is the best arm in my rotation, and he's showing right now what kind of pitcher he is. He's showing right now what we expect from him and what he can do.
I want strikes. No matter how hard you throw, you are not going to get people out if you are behind hitters. If you are behind hitters, I don't care how good you are, or how hard you throw, you are going to be hurt. I expect him to throw more strikes and attack the strike zone.
I took a couple of peeks up there. Nothing against Kansas City or Tampa Bay, but the way they are playing right now and from what I saw when they left here, I doubt they will lose another game. I don't expect Tampa Bay to do it. I think the best team to do it now is us.
I am not panicking. I just expect him to throw more strikes.
