I thought he made some pitches that were close to being strikes. They just weren't in umpire Joe Brinkman's strike zone. That's all a pitcher can do is try to make pitches. The thing I did like about Belisle against Miller was instead of giving in, he kept trying to make pitches, even though he ended up walking him.

With Hudson, it is all about consistency. To be a bona fide major league pitcher, you have to be consistent. He would have one outing where he was very, very good and another where he was very, very bad.

This way we only have one guy out of his normal position. Felipe has been hitting second, and Phillips has been down in the order.

We can use him in big spots early in a game where we couldn't in the past. That's the biggest benefit of having three catchers.

I talked to these guys that last day (of last season) in St. Louis about coming to spring training in shape. The only way you do that is to take it seriously. I have no clue of what Josh Hancock did this winter. He might have run a marathon for all I know. He might have been throwing off the mound every day. But he was 17 pounds over his requested reporting weight. Can be a successful pitcher at 17 pounds more than he's asked to be Maybe. But we looked at last year. He was on the disabled list for 133 games. We did not see the commitment we wanted to see.
