Santana did a great job. We scored those couple of runs early, but after that we didn't do much damage off of him.
From playing with him, if you don't capitalize on him early he gets stronger. You hope it doesn't come back to haunt you, but looking at it now we wished we could have gotten a couple more runs there. But he made good pitches and he got out of the inning and then we had opportunities later in the game and didn't do anything with it.
We have to come out and play better. We're running out of time.
It's easy to play when you score 15 runs with Randy Johnson pitching. But it'll take a while to find out how good we really are. But I like what I see so far.
The guy's (Shane Spencer) ridiculous. No one hits home runs like that. I'm telling you, man, it's ridiculous.
Athletics keeps us healthy, gets us up and running around. It also gives you an opportunity to meet a lot of different people, which is very important.
You have to take the good with the bad. Some players only talk to the press when they are doing good. When you're doing bad you shouldn't shy away from them and when doing good, don't run up to them.
It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.
Any way you can get it done now. Robbie put down a good bunt to get the runners over. It seems like every at-bat is important at this point in the year.
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.
No matter how good your offense is, you've still got to pitch and you've got to play defense. We didn't have any problem scoring runs last year.
He was running around the bases so much, maybe he should be a leadoff hitter.
I assumed runs would be tough (to score) just because of the time of year. Pitching is going to get the best of hitting right now. It's tough on hitters when you're facing a new pitcher every time up.
