It's inconsistency. One game we look like we are ready to go get it started and the next day we come out and we fall right back into a rut. It's inconsistency. We are not producing a consistent offense.
It looked like he just ran out of gas. He had nothing.
It kind of takes a little of the air out of you, ... But you don't get in and say, 'Oh that's the end of the ballgame.' But that certainly would've been a big moment there for us.
It kind of sets the tone. ... Take nothing for granted run hard, play hard.
It was important for him to go seven tonight. He didn't have a high pitch count, so he should be OK on Sunday. We got our cake and ate it, too, tonight.
It's Barry Bonds. I don't see why not. The way he's hitting, he certainly has the capability of doing that.
It might not last until we get to San Diego. But it certainly should show these guys what they're capable of doing if each individual would go up there and do what he's capable of doing, and think about it being a team effort.
We did nothing offensively to win that ballgame. You can't gain ground on anyone by losing.
We did have it, ... for a short while.
The only way you have success over the course of the season is if you can go through your rotation and get quality starts, at least from four of them, three times in a row.
We felt like he's capable of doing it when he walks up to home plate on any given at-bat. He gave us a big one tonight.
We felt like every time he took the ball he was going to go nine innings, no matter what. I really admire him for that.
Unless he takes longer than five to seven days, or is still there, then that's when there's some concern and will have some type of effect on the team. Other than that, he's got plenty of time to get ready for the season.
Usually in a game like this you're hopeful for one good shot at a pitcher like Pedro. And we got that in the sixth inning. We couldn't ask for any better chance than we had there, with the people we had coming to the plate. We got nothing out of it.
