came early game gave kid learned since tie
When you feel like you gave the game away early and then came back at the end and then don't do the things you learned since you were a little kid to tie the game or go ahead, it's just disappointing.
lay move plays runners team together
This team has to do things together more than any team in the past. We have to do the little things that make a difference. We have to move runners over and lay down bunts and make plays on defense. This team is more like that than any team here ever before.
game good groove hard job mistakes overcome picking played team worst
This team has played hard (in) every game we have played in. We have been our own worst enemy. Today, we overcome some mistakes that we made and did a good job of picking one another up. That is how you get back in a groove -- by making up for mistakes by doing good things right after it.
basically chance changes complexion game gave gets ninth options runs three ties until
We just don't have options until Bowman gets healthy. We had a chance to go into the ninth inning in this one down one, but we basically gave them three runs earlier. That changes the whole complexion of the game and it ties your hands.

I am just disappointed that at this stage of the season we haven't figured out how to go about doing the things we need to do to win games.
came chance conditions four game good great guys pitch situation
I thought the four guys that came out of the bullpen, with the conditions the way they were today, and the situation of the game how it was when they came in, did a great job. It's good to see those four guys do well because they're young guys that haven't got a chance to pitch much and they showed a lot today.

That's been happening on the other side of the fence. It's just nice to see us get that one opportunity to take advantage today.
