But I'm not going to let it be a distraction.

That's the way baseball is, ... I wouldn't say he's off the radar screen. I've been on both ends of it.

Getting too wrapped up in who's playing right now is not the way to go about it.

That's very important. I like my pitchers to stay focused and execute pitches and not get wrapped up in the score, but that's not very easy to do. Jae got a little tired at the end. We had some long innings, but he did keep us in the game as far as getting throught the first five pretty easily.
