behind count fall fell good guys happened happy hit pitches played threw
I was very happy with the way the guys played. We played errorless ball, which was good. We threw too many pitches and fell behind in the count. When you fall behind the count on good hitters, you're going to get hit and that's what happened today.
bit call tonight
I think tonight was a little bit of a wake-up call for us.
ball bit pitchers threw yeah
I thought our pitchers threw the ball a little bit better today, which is always encouraging. So, yeah again, this is just a build-up.
We're all left-handed. There's nothing we can do about it and that's all we have. It is what is.

We have to win two games to advance. We think that Erik Bedard matches up better against Japan in the second round.

We had a nice dinner and a few ... ginger-ales.
happy task
We can be happy right now but we still have a task at hand.
bats came control fate good guys swung time
We had everything set up the way we wanted to. They just came out and swung the bats well. I think the guys were prepared. It's not a good feeling. Any time you can control your fate and let it get away, it's disappointing.

We have a veteran enough group and our guys compete with the guys we're going to be playing (Wednesday) on a daily basis. We're not in awe of the United States.
