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.
More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
We're kind of in that difficult line, where you still feel like you're in it. You still go out there and try to win every game, yet you have to look periodically at these other guys. It's not a real comfortable place to be, yet that's where we are and guys are going to get some days off from time to time.Bob Melvin
I know he's had his struggles at times in the second half here, but we've seen that game many times, where he's taking us into the eighth inning, giving them very few hits, and is economical with his pitches. It's tough to take him out at times.

I thought that was really going to be an emotional play in the game for us.

He's swung the bat fine. We sat him out for a game because of a little bit of a groin and leg issue, but I'm not concerned about him. He's had a big game already, and he's in the three hole for a reason. We don't worry about him.
Bob Melvin
That sets the tone for everything. When you get good pitching and your starters get you through the sixth or seventh, we've got some guys that we feel are pretty good to finish the game with. Buddy Groom, Jose Valverde ... When our starters go deep into a game, we feel good about getting the win.

Outstanding. His velocity is back up there, around 94 (mph), and he seemed to add and subtract better on his breaking ball today.
