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.
chance close game great job leaving needed quality today
It was a close game and he needed to do his job like he did today to give us a chance to win. He did a great job going seven-plus inning and leaving with the lead. That is a quality start.
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.
ball chance complexion exactly game ground hit left needed runners runs score scoring support table three tie
He did exactly what we needed him to do but we didn't support him on offense. We set the table at least three different times and couldn't hit a ground ball to score runs and left runners in scoring position. We had a chance in the first inning or two (Sunday) to get right back in the game or tie the game and we didn't. The complexion of the game is different if it is tied.
chance earlier encouraged fought hurt plays simple win
I'm encouraged that we fought back and had a chance to win the game. (But) there were two simple plays that we didn't make earlier that hurt us.
plays
And you shouldn't say many because it plays pretty true.
concentration defense excuses focus game pathetic simple witnessed
Our defense is just pathetic right now. At this level, there is no excuses for what we have witnessed and what we are witnessing. That is a simple part of the game and it has nothing to do with inexperience. It is a focus thing and a concentration thing.
against approach easy guy happy hat passive pitching tip
Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the guy who was pitching against us. But I also wasn't happy with our early-game approach at the plate. I thought we were passive and I thought we were lethargic and we made it easy on him.
defense gets happen heels runs walk
Runs get scored when you walk guys. The defense gets back on their heels and things happen that you don't want to happen.
affected demands everybody expected guys hard knew placing players
Everyone was there and went through the drills we had and they did it with a lot of energy. The players are doing OK, as well as can be expected under the circumstances. We are not placing a lot of demands on them right now. It's hard on everyone. All of our guys knew him pretty well. Everybody has been affected by it.
came
Dorsett came in and pitched us out of jam.
advantage happening nice opportunity side
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.
both conference gives opportunity ready seasons teams trying
We're both in the same boat. Both teams are trying to get ready for their conference seasons and both teams are very young. This gives us an opportunity to just play some games.
bit needed
We needed to get him a little bit of time, but not too much.
