I'd hate to think what the future would be like without him right now. I'm a big Luis Gonzalez fan and I'm glad that we have him under contract for next year and an option for the year after that because I think he's still going to be a big part of this thing.
More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
I think it bothers him more so in the field than at the plate. It's when he slows down or takes off or when he dives for a ball and hits it wrong, those are the times you see it. He's had to play with it all year and some days it's better than others. We've tried to monitor it and give him a day off when he needs a day off. The way he's swinging right now, it's hard to give him a day off.Bob Melvin
They understand we're in a precarious position right now as far as trying to get some other guys in some games and get a look at them yet still go out there and try to be as competitive as you can,

We saw it all spring and have seen it in the regular season. We must have seen it happen six or seven times in Spring Training and at least five times in the last four or five games. I would like to see him quit doing it.

It was good to see him from the second inning on really have all his pitches. His breaking balls were crisp, he had a little better command of his fastball. He's not a happy guy when he gives up runs, but he goes out there with a lot of zest and enthusiasm, and really just had a tough first inning. The good ones don't let innings affect them.

For him to be sent down a week ago or so and come out with that kind of focus and pitch as well as he did -- it's a credit to him.
