Tito:
"When he gets to that balance point, he's got to [not] run away from his arm. It's a lot easier said than done," said Francona. "It's been that way for a while. It's something that he's aware of, [pitching coach John Farrell's] aware of it. We've talked to him. It would be great to get him back on that roll, because he's such a difference-maker in our bullpen."
Bay:
"Me, personally, I had a great first part of the year. I kind of really stunk somewhere in the middle and have picked it up as of late. I understand what it's like to go through one of those funks. Everyone has an opinion or this or that. Everybody goes through them. It's just not clicking. I don't think Tito will be hesitant to use him again, because, you know, at any time, he's got that electric stuff and can put it together, and I think everyone has gone through it."
MDC himself
"I'll take the next couple of weeks and pretty much just bust my butt to get where I want to be and be with the team when the time comes for the playoffs and be ready to go,"

"I've been there the last couple of years. I know it's tough for them, because they have to put the best team out there to win," Delcarmen said. "I know they want me there. I've got to, for myself, just go out there and do it."

Pretty much exactly what I was hoping I'd hear after his performance last night. Sounds like they're aware of the problem, have an idea what's going wrong and are taking steps to correct rather than overreacting or giving up on the player..
