Quote of the Day

“I think he’ll get over it. I talked to him. He said, ‘Whatever’s right for the team.’  I did let him hit. He went up there. I think there’s a good balance there. [Lester has] just pitched 100 pitches trying to win a baseball game. There will be plenty of time. I don’t think that’s a make-or-break situation. He’s gotten one hit so far. He’ll get the opportunity to get some hits. It’s not kindergarten here.  If you don’t think it was a good decision, so what, I think it was the right thing to do trying to win a game for a guy who’s busting his butt out there.”
