Play from 0:02[0:02]" For how long -- you could. I think you're -- it's just you know push a run across him. Make it stand but it was it was great we needed something anything. So we can leave here on might win. People frustration offense -- we gotta win talk of all time it's a lot more Fonda. Talk about how we can do things better. After -- win. That's I was. You know what he did frozen -- has done for -- past. -- in and finishing name even going back out for another inning was such a valuable weapon our bullpen. And for him to get out that's -- I think was big for him. We faced a -- dangerous hitter Luke walks him but then make some broker pitches after that. I was he could just see that the energy in the ballpark in our dugout pickup for them. -- and I thought from the first and I actually got two quick outs then there's himself a little bit of a bind with us. Come out of the the ball -- his cute or whatever but. He had he threw a lot of strikes to get three walks. Have a good finish on his pitches he challenged a lot of hitters with his fastball and got Bynum had some depth to a -- to -- Bobby. The fight through with a lot of confidence. Looked like he was feeling pretty good about himself just a game dictate to want some point you go to the bullpen he would -- to overrule. Sometimes you can't just have a -- Ferguson or whatever. In the game dictates. Making a move we've been three games general. Manny Delcarmen don't watch pitches to a three days. We it's not realistic that you can create -- innings for single ruler will or won't work. What would rather do -- give them confidence and be able to go to them go look at some before such a valuable. There -- the guys that they had hidden. Could actually -- song about -- right handers. I would think that. You just about every pitcher in the major leagues when their commanding the fastball. It sets up everything else I think got sort of I agree with that statement. Do locate your fastball he must not -- best fastball you have chance but -- for almost pretty to finish on -- it. Should told confidence. When night with the Royals. As a staff we made a big list of anybody that we thought you know. But again it comes down to we've been through that a lot of times the voting. Pretty much took over."

Play from 3:42[3:42]" Regardless of how we felt about him that I thought -- before you want to say it blows. Because God's gonna start all started again to the voting and pretty much takes care of some of those third girl literally our own. There really are issues because -- they don't ever get to be I mean and how we felt and we tried to have. Pitchers ranked player right but it really doesn't come down how we feel at times. But government a lot of again and our guys we've we've we don't think straight all the time either I don't think we're supposed to. Were around him every day and we want more from. So that certainly it's -- no excuse or thinking also. And I don't apologize for that. Well there wasn't we're we're either. I'm up or make him some reason why we didn't hear or didn't do enough because we did some real good things. CoComment -- play. Lugo -- do some good things and and you -- zero there for nine innings a lot of people don't want to do things."

Play from 5:01[5:01]" Yeah."

Play from 5:05[5:05]" The bat that is good we actually John outcome of four games of one like that. Let Daisuke get comfortable letting go -- pitch because it would be really good form any any does that. Got deep enough where. We're not. You know trying to get warnings notable bullpen and one run game. We'll finger. Play located -- we come -- ropes one inning and we didn't get a thing. And he can he -- we we've known that since we've watched him you know could see him come up as a young kid was in Fort Myers knows how to pitch. Came off a pretty solid outing and carry it over those"
