>> like today, he went with matt wieters and he didn't shake off. when he got his fastball the way it was tonight, nobody is going to hit him, i don't care who it is. he got in a very good rhythm, didn't waste time between pitches. that is what we saw tonight. those guys had poor swings on him and he is capable of doing that. he gets himself a little in trouble at time, but his sinker is one of the best i have seen in major leagues. >> aside from the two guys we are talking about today, rick, you have to be happy about the way berken handled it today. they had little better stretches than the first initial breakout game they had. >> you are right. the one thing about him, we drafted some tough kids. these guys are tough, especially berken when you go back and see some of the problems he had earlier in this year, now he has it turned around. won 3 of the last 4. hernandez is tough, tilt is tough. sometimes what they do is go out and give these guys too much credit. doesn't matter who they are facing. they need to use their stuff, need to show the peo
