You just have to be tough enough to do your job and put everything aside. You try to stay upbeat for the players' sake so that they are positive. You've got to make sure that they don't get down. It's not a lot of fun, but you do the best you can.

We'll take it inning by inning. We'll hope he can economize his pitches.Pete Mackanin
In the first inning he started off a little shaky. I didn't see good velocity. I didn't see what we were hoping to see. But after the first, he seemed to pitch a lot better. Something happened out there, and he was as good as we've seen in a long time and I'm pretty happy about that.
