Before he could get in a rhythm, he was down four runs. He just didn't have command of his pitches.
More Quotes from Terry Francona:
I don't know about unique I think he's good. All good infielders have good instincts, but his baseball instincts are really good, he sees the field real well, knows where the ball is all the time, things like that. Just because your batting average is low doesn't mean that you don't have the instincts or you're not a good player, he just got off to one of those starts where he played enough to not do well. We've all been through it. For whatever reason, he just had a tough time getting untracked.Terry Francona
Oh yeah, that's huge, ... That was something we wanted to stay away from. That gets you in a tough situation - up and down, pitch, don't pitch. He'll pitch tomorrow and it's fairly normal, just like having an extra day.

He was OK to stay in, but I didn't think it was a smart thing to do. We go and get ice on it now, and not only do we hopefully have him (today), but have him feeling a little bit better.

You get to the ninth inning and your stomach is clear up to here. But it's not because of your job. It is because you want to win so badly.
Terry Francona
It looked like at a certain point in the game, he started hitting all his spots. And add to that, when you get a lefty in our ballpark on a day like (Sunday), where there is so much contrast with the brightness, it gets tough.

Being famous is just like being in high school. But I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed.
