The important thing is that the starting pitcher goes out there and keeps us in the game, and doesn't force us to climb out of a big hole like we tried to do last night. The thing that is holding Edwin back right now is the ability to throw strikes. Four outs and into the bullpen isn't gonna get it done.
More Quotes from Jim Tracy:
I know the numbers didn't look too good. However, the thing I was very impressed is that he, for the most part, pitched ahead, threw a lot of strikes and threw some very good breaking pitches. He went after hitters, and that's something we are very interested in seeing.Jim Tracy
I couldn't be happier for Jeff Weaver, looking at the job that he's done here over the last two years, being the workhorse of the staff and pitching deep into games more times than not, ... To see this guy grow into what he's becoming now, you feel awfully good about that.

There was no way to expect how well he's done. The consistency of his at-bats have been eye opening. He's a guy that when you look beyond just the here and now, ahead to 2006 and beyond, he's obviously become a very valuable piece for us.

After experiencing as a manager what we went through a year ago, seeing some of those champagne parties that have taken place over the last couple of days has been pretty painful - to the point where I turn the television set off. I don't want to watch it because I've experienced it firsthand and I know what it feels like. So now, it's not a whole lot of fun to watch.

It was the best Snell has done. I'm beginning to see some progress from him. He threw enough breaking balls for strikes. He had much better command of his fastball tonight.
