Francona confident Bauer will break through

TORONTO -- Indians manager Terry Francona does not get too worked up over his players' quotes after a game. The skipper pays more attention to the discussions he has behind the scenes throughout the course of a season, given that emotions are not running high like they can in a postgame setting.

That approach is especially true for Indians starter Trevor Bauer, who is off to a rough start this year. Following Monday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays, the pitcher stuck with what has become a routine part of his postgame comments. Bauer explained that he hit his spots, executed his game plan the way he wanted and the results simply did not support how well he pitched.
