both difference far fifth game good guy hit mistake pitching terrible
The pitching was very good for both sides. We made one terrible mistake in the fifth inning and a guy hit one out and that was the difference in the game as far as I'm concerned.
breaking good throw
He's still not able to throw his breaking ball, but he did a real good job.
bunt good great needed runs second tyler
We did some good things today. Tyler Weber got a great bunt down in the second inning. We did what we needed to do, and we got the runs home. That was huge.
good offensive progress quit wasting
We're a pretty good offensive team. We just have to quit wasting a lot of at-bats. Every day there's progress. We're making progress like the turtle, but at least we're going in the right direction.
everybody excited fastball good hit knew
He hit that fastball about as good as you can hit it. When he hit it, I knew it was gone. I don't know if everybody else did, but I knew. It excited me.
account gives goes good himself performance proud time
He gives a good account of himself every time he goes out there. I was proud of his performance today.
enjoy game good reason trying
For some reason, we're not getting through to the players. And I know they're trying; they're trying hard. You've just got to come and play the game to enjoy and have a good time. They're not.
both enthusiasm good played
We really played pretty well, frankly. There was a lot of enthusiasm on both sides, and it was a good game. I've got to be happy.
balls drop five fly game giving last letting pitch runs seemed six throwing wrong
I mean, we've scored 12 runs in the last five games. It was another weak, anemic night, more of the same. It's just we were never in the game after we couldn't pitch and keep them under control. Once we started giving up runs, letting fly balls drop and throwing to the wrong base, down by six runs seemed like 60.
ballpark excited night quiet seem seemed
Not like it used to be. It didn't seem like we were excited -- this whole ballpark just seemed quiet all night to me.
glad horrible three weekend
I'm just glad this weekend is over. We were horrible this weekend. Horrible all three days. Just horrible.
brown catch caught last matt performs plays surprises time
I have no idea how he caught that ball. You can't say enough about Matt Brown and how he plays the outfield. There's nothing about the way he performs that surprises me, but every time he makes a catch like that, it's better than the last one.
adjust game key pitcher whether
The key to any game offensively is whether you adjust to the pitcher. We didn't adjust to that pitcher at all. We didn't do much of anything offensively.
anybody ball
They can go get the ball with anybody and make all the plays.
