Seemed like just yesterday we were having fun.
We don't seem to be able to handle pitchers we don't know. First-time guys, we seem to struggle with them. We're just not swinging the bats very well right now.
We don't seem to be able to handle any pitchers we don't know well. He mixed up his pitches pretty good. He moved it around. Still, we weren't very selective or very patient at the plate against him.
That's tough to say because it just doesn't seem real. For them to accomplish that, you have to give them a lot of credit.
You just don't like to see sloppy play. We're not playing good, crisp, sharp baseball in any aspect of the game right now. Period. It's going to have to pick up. It's focus, anticipation and concentration. That's what it is. We don't seem to really be there right now.
I'm happy for him. He seems to be having fun again. Everyone likes him. What's not to like? A kid full of enthusiasm, a big smile on his face, a young guy going out there and playing like he's a kid in a sandbox.
We need it. We need somebody to get hot, and he seems to be the guy now.
I was surprised that we had that type of success against him because he's been tough. He didn't seem to have the answer today.
We just don't seem to be able to put two games together. It doesn't seem like we have the ability to do it.
It seems like every team has a guy that is fortunate that the team scores for (him), and there's that hard-luck guy they don't score for.
It seems like every staff has a guy that a team scores runs for, and then there's this hard-luck guy that they don't score runs for. This may be his year to get the run support.
It seems like when we get a decent pitched game we do nothing offensively.
We are not catching the ball; we are not throwing the ball. We don't seem to be focused on what is going on out there and what the situation is.
He seems more comfortable and relaxed in camp this year.
