His presence on the mound looks different. He just looks much more assured of himself out there. One, he's probably in a role that's much better suited for him and, two, he's had some success. That breeds confidence.
More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
A guy like him, with his age . . . I said early on in camp that some things like this could happen with him. We just didn't want him to go back out there. We wanted him to get some treatment.Bob Melvin
We just wanted to make sure he went in and got some ice. He's fine. He's off on Friday anyway, so I don't see any problems for the next game. He's been making a habit of fouling balls of his foot this spring. That one was barking on him a little bit.

You spend any time around him, he doesn't act, look anything like an 18-year-old kid. He's got a lot of savvy. You can tell he's been around a family and brother who's been in the big leagues. He handles himself very well.

This game here tonight is just as important as the game tomorrow against San Diego. We need to win games, we need to win a lot of games between here and the end.

We were kidding him a little bit when he was taking batting practice today -- there was a little extra sock in his bat. He was hitting some balls pretty good and a little farther than he normally does, and he said he's got another mouth to feed, so he's on a salary drive here.

Sometimes you just need to send them down to give them a blow mentally, because at the big league level, it can grind on you. You go out there -- it's all about results, period. It's nice once you get to the big leagues, but there isn't any grace period where you get to struggle for a while. It's about results right now, and if you don't do it, there are others that will take your place.
