additional catch continues creep followed four further game runs side three time tough trying
Each and every time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs by the other side of the field. And when you're trying to play catch up, and it continues to go further and further away from you, you're trying to get back in the game three or four times a game that's tough to do.
additional creep followed four game runs side three time tough trying
Each time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs from the other side of the field. When you're trying to get back into a game three or four times a day, that's tough to do.
runs three
We got the three runs in the third, but we did nothing else. That's all we did.
game offensive runs three
We got the three runs in that inning and we didn't do anything else. That's our offensive game tonight.
certainly five hope nights plenty runs
I would certainly hope so. At the major-league level, there has to be a lot of nights where five runs are plenty to win.
gave good run
Only the one run wasn't going to be good enough, and we gave them two others.
changes depth difference feet moving quite runner taken
Moving a runner 90 feet makes quite a difference in a game. It changes decision-making and depth of infielders. The big thing is the introduction of it to everyone. They've really taken to it.
base couple games hit home ourselves position runs score sustain tried via
Through the first two games of this series, all of our runs have come via the home run ball. We were not able to, when we tried to get something going, sustain it offensively to put ourselves in a position where a base hit or a gapper could score a couple of runs for us.
lack needed played run timely
You can nitpick all you want, but one run isn't going to get it done. We played hard. There was no lack of effort. We needed a timely hit. We weren't able to get it done.
both plays point run
Both plays were close. It was a run we didn't get and a run they did get. But you don't point fingers.
advance approach goes run understood worst
I told him that the worst case-scenario, if he goes the other way with the ball, was for him to get one run in and advance the other runner. He understood me perfectly. I'll take his approach to that at-bat.
impact push runners talking
We're talking about a catcher. Squatting, up and down out of the crouch, runners going, boom, the impact of landing. ... It doesn't make any sense to push it.
beyond home matched pitch run special
They got a home run in the first inning from a very special player. But beyond that, we matched them pitch for pitch and play for play.
ability advance appear aspect change complexion game might runner small
As small an aspect of the game as bunting might appear to be to a lot of people, it's really important to me. The complexion of a game can change because you have the ability to advance a runner 90 feet. It's huge.
