It was in a jam, I think three of the, did he have any clean innings, I don't know.
Okay, but other than that, you know, he was wasn't his normal self.
He's been so great for us this year and then we made a move that we thought was right and
it was wrong.

Now we have a workout out for us, you know, this was a week where we could have made
up some ground and really done some things and now we've got some great opponents.
We usually play better against great opponents, but we've got some great opponents, the Giants
on the road, one of the biggest home field advantages and then we've got the hottest team
in baseball seven times and then we've got the Phillies best record in the league.
