I think it's a very workable situation. It starts with attitude, and Mike's coming in with a great attitude. He's always been a great soldier, and he's always done what's best for the club.
It gives us, I think, probably our best pinch-hitter coming off the bench,
Overall, that was one of the best plays I've ever seen.
We just feel it will be in our best interest not to have him out there Saturday. With Jake, it's going to be important to get him right - and get him out there, too. You don't want him to miss too much time.
There's a good possibility he may go on the disabled list. We want him real close if not 100 percent. It's the best thing for him and the club. We feel like we can give him a little bit of time right now if he does start on the disabled list.
The thing about Woody is, he can handle it. He'll deal with it better than a younger guy. He knows he'll go out without his best stuff occasionally and put it behind him.
It's very close between the two. I wish I had a better reason besides what I just told you. I think Sweeney is our best guy coming off the bench.
It's whoever's playing the best ball at the time, who's clicking, pitching the best, playing the best ball. That's why you have Wild Card teams get hot at the end and keep going.
If we think it's in his best interest to skip a start, then we'll do it,
I know a lot about his game, definitely. He's our best prospect. He's the closest to being an everyday guy here.
He's the best fielding pitcher we have. You don't see that too often. He probably tried to make a little too much happen there.
