Another one of those sit around and figure out the scenarios. That's about all you can say. We had our chances right from the first inning. We just didn't get any hits with guys on base. I'm well aware of what it takes to win. We just didn't do it.
I thought he would try to get ahead with a fastball. I was just trying to hit the ball hard.
Those are situations you have to come through. Because two-out hits are pretty clutch.
Two-out hits are pretty clutch, ... You have to find a way to come through in those situations.
It's always easier to hit when it's a low-scoring game and your pitcher is doing the job. It all starts with pitching. Our offense got so much publicity early on, but pitching is the most important thing.
Wakefield was probably as good as I've seen him. His ball was moving all over the place. We could have been out there for another three hours and I don't think we'd have gotten any more hits off him.
Adams runs pretty good. He didn't hit the ball particularly hard, he chopped it up the middle. You basically tag second and try to throw it as quick as you can. Give him credit, he hustled.
I thought Chase's ball was gone when he hit it. I mean, he crushed that ball, but you've got to hit it pretty good to get it out in that part of the park.

Just because you've seen a guy doesn't mean you're going to get hits off him the next time. He seemed to bear down when guys got on base, and when he got ahead, he threw that split.
Robbie's hit was huge. That's the benefit of playing on the road. You come out and get the chance to hit before the other team comes to the bat.

I don't know how many balls he's hit down the first-base line, ... I don't know when the last time was.
He's tough. He's going to make you hit his pitch.
