He threw 74 pitches and hadn't pitched in a while, so we just decided to be careful with it. Not that I wanted to, because we need pitchers to go late in the game. I thought he was pretty good. He had more pitches early than he probably wanted, but he looked very good for a guy who hasn't pitched in three weeks.

There is no easy way to determine if a guy is done or not. We weren't going to let him go out for that next inning. Pitching coach Spin Williams basically told him that he was done to see his reaction because you can read a guy's face. He was hot. He couldn't believe he was coming out, which helped us make the decision to keep him back in there.
