battle home messed run score struggling uphill
I thought we were going to get out of the first with just one run. Payton's home run was big. That really messed up the day for us. Then when we're down 7-0 that's really an uphill battle for us. We're struggling to score one or two runs.
anybody hitting less runners score seemed sixth third
Before that (the sixth inning), we had a lot of opportunities. We just couldn't get anything across. Actually we couldn't get anybody to third with less than two outs. It seemed like we were always hitting with runners on first and second. To score runs, you have to get opportunities with runners on third and less than two outs. We haven't been able to do that much.
figure fix
We've just got to try to fix it, man. We just have to figure this out.
forget good
We've just got to forget about that and play as good as we can, as long as we can.
everybody hope pitches rotation turn upside
This rotation could turn upside down at some point. I just hope everybody pitches well.
chance might next start
There is a chance that he might make his next start up here, but we don't know that yet.
although figure next pitch trying wants
We're trying to figure out what we're going to do next with Bautista. I still don't think he's going to pitch for us this year, although he wants to.
preparing quite ready time worst
We're going about it, quite frankly, that Zack is not going to be here in time to get ready for the rotation. We pretty much are preparing for the worst right now. That could change. I don't think it will.
four starts
We want to get him four starts before the end of the year.
early honest pitching
To be honest with you, the way Westbrook was pitching and the at-bats we were getting early on, I thought we had no chance.
everybody games good knew looks lose sure
Everybody was sure we would do it, but I knew better. There was no way we would lose 100 games two years in a row! 63-99 looks real good right now!
bullpen good guys three
The good thing about our bullpen is our three guys can all close, with no problem.
extension signed time
We should have signed him to that extension a long time ago,
forward progress seeing
We think so. Then again, that's up to him. He's made a lot of progress in conditioning. We look forward to seeing him back.
