We haven't been scoring runs. ... We haven't been getting the lead like we were able to early in the season. Tonight is a formula we used with the success we had in the first part of the season.
We haven't put everything together for any length of time. Maybe when the bell rings and we start for real, we can put it together. A lot of these guys haven't played together. It's going to take a while for the chemistry to come together, but this team has the ability to do that, to come together as a team. But, again, that comes from winning and enjoying the game.
We haven't completely shut him down, ... But we contained him.
Those are the things that we talked to him about a little bit last year. We wanted to see that, but he didn't do those things. Now he is seeming to be doing that and having success.
We couldn't close the deal. And that was it. There's not a whole lot else to say.
We just didn't get the big hit tonight. Just couldn't do it.
We've gone into his area two nights in a row, and he's done this two nights in a row. When we've gone into an area where we feel like we can get him out, we've gotten him out.
What you really want to accomplish is to have your side heard. What we will benefit from right now is we will have his services for now, until the hearing itself.
What you really want is to have your side heard. You just hope they will understand your side and maybe you can get a reduction in your suspension.
He's a good hitter, he's a good athlete. We've got to start treating him like a hitter.
We had our emotions in control. We just made a couple of a bad pitches, really. We didn't make good pitches in this series, and they hit them, especially tonight.
We have three more games to play and we have to win those three games,
Three-and-oh. Throw the ball down the middle of the plate. You think he was swinging there?
You know the old saying, 'Don't let a guy hang around if you have a chance to knock him out.' They had a chance knock us out the entire second half of the season and they haven't done it yet. Maybe, we'll bounce back off the ropes, get off the canvas and win this thing.
