(Clemens) is tough enough to hit when it's over the plate and if he starts getting a big plate, that's going to be tough for us.

You always worry when a guy has good command that he can get somebody excited.

Cisco was terrific tonight. His command was brilliant.

His command of both sides of the plate was ridiculous. He really has a nasty cutter, and he was using it well against righties and lefties. He's tough enough as it is, and tonight he was extra tough.

His command is there. That is a big thing of his and he has it early.

Of the three, only one was a little bit of a mistake.

His hip wasn't a factor. His command was an issue. He basically pitched out of the stretch the entire time he was out there.

I do wear tails . . . I think it would be distracting to wear a long dress. You have to look ultra-formal and in command at the podium because, well, you are in command. Or you'd better be. . . . The music should be done so well that the audience forgets if you're a man or woman. There's nothing about conducting that's gender-specific.

Health-wise, the other day it was good, but his command was not close. It was not good as we needed it to be. We just want to make sure when he comes up here he is not going to get hammered.

He pitched great. He had some big strikeouts when he needed them. His command was better today, he had better location. He was able to throw strikes with his curve and his change, whereas in the first game he pretty much relied on his fastball.
