He's not getting the pitches we thought he would. He threw one-third of an inning last time. He was going to be a starter that second round, which would get him to the pitch counts that we're comfortable with. It hasn't happened, other than the first time, so far.

It's a results-based industry and we've given it some time and we just don't feel like we're getting the results.Bob Melvin
I think wins and losses have a lot to do with the perception of how we're playing. Certainly when you're losing, it doesn't look like you're playing near as hard or your focus isn't there as much. That's just a product of losing. I think the focus and approach has been the same all year.

You want to get into the bullpen. We're watching the pitch count go up, hits are at a premium and we're not even seeing too many balls up. We're trying to get him out of the game, and we do, and we had an opportunity right there.

In his last couple of years here, he really matured as a pitcher. The success he had in that 01' World Series game was huge. It catapulted him to bigger and better things.

These kind of games like this, when you get the crowd that we did, you really want to win those games, you want to set a tone. We didn't play very well at home last year, we played much better on the road, so you want to get your fans behind you, have a nice exciting day that you win. We just fell a little bit short.
