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.
More Quotes from Pete Mackanin:
He wasn't letting the fastball go. That's what he needs to get back to. I think he's so concerned with his control and his command that I think he aims the ball more than he should.Pete Mackanin
We think he's got a chance to be a pretty good pitcher. Whether that's in the bullpen or as a starter we're not exactly sure, but we want to give him every opportunity to start.

I think Perez is so concerned with his command that he aims the ball more than he should. For me, he's just got too much flair instead of the consistent release point and arm slot. He's got to get back to basics.

In the post-9/11 world you cannot give him the benefit of the doubt. As a result of our going into Iraq, not only is Saddam Hussein gone, but Qaddafi has given up his weapons of mass destruction and tremendous progress is being made in Iraq.
