We had a season to get to know each other. We know how he works. He knows how we run our operation. We want to make sure he's committed to our organization and our plan and to do that, we would rather be face to face to make sure we understand each other. . . . He has always been kind of singled out and we want to try and have him be one of 25 and fit in to that approach.
More Quotes from Clint Hurdle:
When you have a reliever that's a power guy that can strike people out (80 in 67 innings pitched), he's never out of the inning. As wild as some of these innings have gotten with him, he's been able to put them away.Clint Hurdle
Initially we stuck him in there because we had run out of options. He is a big kid who has some power and we thought maybe we can find a guy to pick up some run support when they didn't want to pitch to Helton. Obviously he took that opportunity and ran with it. He is a legitimate fourth bat in the lineup. He is not just hitting behind Helton any more.

His counts got cleaner. He started with an inconsistent command, behind in counts. He got better as the game went on. There's better there, but that's winning without your best stuff early and then tightening up as you go along.

Everybody that took the mound today was really good.

I think you have to find the humanity in the character and then the deterioration is a part of the process - the journey of the character. It's like playing King Lear. You can start off as a nice old man who finishes up crazy.
