I think you have to give credit to the players themselves for doing what they've done, but it certainly seems like Vern has given them some keys that have opened up the doors to help them get better. Ruhle took the compliment in stride. I think we've accomplished some of the things with the rotation and the bullpen that we tried to stress in spring training, and I think we've had guys sacrifice personal goals for the good of team. But there's still a lot of work to do. And even more work to do for the 15-30 team that occupied the other dugout last night.
Good things are just around the corner.
