Craig Carton

You don't think getting picked off, which does happen, happened to Jazz last night also, shows that him, my batting it after the first inning, that that might refocus him?

Because he obviously was not focused in the first.

That that's an example that, you know, obviously after being embarrassed by not knowing how many outs were in the first inning, he wasn't more focused later in the game?

When he got picked off?

It's not about focus.

Again, Mendoza said they had a play on.

He was going to steal the base.

He was aggressive, and they made a good play at the right moment.

That wasn't that at all.

That was the guy lollygagging off first.

He wasn't paying any attention.

You can have a play on it, but have a little back and forth.

Make the pitcher react to what you're doing.

He was standing there flat-footed.

He's got a big lead there.

He doesn't want to give it away that he's going.

I'm going to take Mendoza at his word.

Mendoza's a liar, though.

He's lied to us to our faces.

He said there was no problem in the clubhouse last year.
