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.
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.
amazing miserable offensive pitchers proud runs sixth tone within
Our pitchers set a miserable tone from the outset. We got burned. The amazing thing is we were within two runs of being run-ruled in the sixth inning. I'm really proud of our offensive team. It didn't quit, it didn't give up.
gave runs
I was very disappointed with Kris Johnson's (outing). I think he was a little shell-shocked when he gave runs because he pitched well in our intra-squad games.
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.
continue deliver mistakes
We just continue to make the same mistakes we've been making for weeks. We're not able to deliver at the plate.
against business care control knew missouri position state
We knew if we could take care of business against Missouri State and Bradley, we'd be back in the race. Now we're a position where we can control our own destiny, if we play well on the road.
against business care front games knew mean missouri short state taking teams winning
We knew if we could take care of business against Missouri State and Bradley -- and by taking care of business, I mean winning all of them -- we'd be in it. Anything short of that, we couldn't do it. We'd be at least two games out with a lot of teams in front of us.
everybody talk
Everybody does. But it's one thing to talk about it, and another thing to do it.
progress
Every day is progress. We're making progress like a turtle, but we're making progress in the right direction, I think.
