basically
It's basically like having two No. 1 starters.
balls couple fall guys ninth work
It's just one of those things. I gambled and lost. It just didn't work out. The guys battled real hard, we just couldn't get a couple of balls to fall in the ninth inning.
decent together
It was decent offensively. We could have scored some more. We got some hits, but we didn't put them together like I thought we should have.
bad good tight zone
It was a tight (strike) zone tonight, so you could look for your pitch, ... Good for hitters, bad for pitchers.
felt girl next offense serious standing
That guy's unbelievable. That's some serious pop. The guy's huge. I felt like a little girl standing next to him at first base. No offense to girls.
ate inside releasing threw tough
Tough play. I should've ate it. I threw to the inside of the bag, just as I was releasing the ball, he went to the outside.
team past trying
Any time you lose a few in a row, you have to hit reset and come back tomorrow and do the best you can to forget about how the past series went. It's frustrating. Individually it's frustrating. I'm trying to figure it out. And I know as a team, it sucks losing a few in a row any time. So you know, we'll snap out of it.
trying today come-up
Today, ... anything you can come up with that works is worth trying.
beat break cross fact late might mind nine pitcher shot soon though until
As soon as he didn't break, it didn't cross my mind until after the fact that the pitcher was on first and even though I had to get up, I might have had a shot at getting him at second. If you get a late break on Rollins, nine times out of 10, he's going to beat you to the bag.
guy selfish side
I think as a young guy on another team, there could be a selfish side to it,
braves coming field jersey mentality minor spring training win
I think it's the mentality of spring training and the mentality of the minor leagues. You know when you put that Braves jersey on, you're coming to the field to win every night.
few hitters
He froze a few hitters out there. I was impressed.
came felt
Today, it kind of felt like it came together.
gonna half matter week
Statistically there was no way they could keep doing what they had been doing the first week and a half of the season. It was gonna turn. It was just a matter of time.
