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.
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.
factions field group guys left seem somewhere stepping team trying
We have two factions on our team right now. We have guys who are trying to do too much because other guys aren't stepping up. And then we have another group of guys who are just out in left field somewhere and don't seem to get it.
base beat guys job left scoring
We just didn't do our job on offense. We left too many guys on base and we didn't come through when we had scoring chances, and we got beat because of it.
definitely guy hat quality tip
I've got to tip my hat to Lacy because he definitely pitched well today. He is a guy they look to to give them a lot of quality innings, and he was really competitive today.
guys staff
We're going to staff it out because we have some guys who need some work.
good gotten guys teams
They are probably one of the most experienced teams we will play. They have a lot of guys back and they have gotten off to a good 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.
attitude guy kept saw special spirit takes utterly
He couldn't have done anything more for us than what he did. To his credit, he kept up his attitude and his competitive spirit and his focus. It takes a special guy to do that because what you saw (from the defense) was just ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.
blowing friday game guys huge hung
It was huge for us. After blowing a game on Friday and then getting boat-raced on Saturday, these guys showed some character. They hung in there and they bounced back.
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.
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.
came
Dorsett came in and pitched us out of jam.
