When Ryan Franklin worked a full count on Adam Kennedy with runners on first and third in the sixth inning on Saturday, it was a situation in which he usually would challenge with a fastball. Instead, he threw a change, and got Kennedy to roll over it for an easy ground-ball out. I've decided I'm not going to be too proud to go soft when there are men on, ... When there's no one on base, I'll go right after them as I usually do.

This is a hitter's park, but a lot of great games have been pitched here, too. You have to make your pitches. I didn't, and they capitalized on bad pitches.

I looked at it like the regular season, just trying to get guys out. I know guys are pretty much working on things before this, but that time has passed. Now, it's time to get ready for the regular season.
