break caught force run second
One run wasn't going to do it, anyway. We caught a break on the force at second and they got one there. It's a wash.
anytime count couple forces goes guys last man odd won
Anytime he goes out there, you know you can count on him. You look at the last couple years here, and he's always won for us. But he's always been the odd man out, too. He just forces his way in there, comes out and wins. There's something to be said for guys that are winners.

We expected to have a better team than we've had here in a while. The key is to play to good against the teams you're going to compete with all year because there's been optimism built up, expectations and you want to keep that going.

We scored some runs to give him a little breathing room. He pitched good. He got out of some big jams.

It would be a big blow if it's something serious. We're hoping not. But I mean, even if it's nothing serious it's going to set him back. We don't know for how long. I mean, we're pulling for the kid. And if it's something serious, then we've got to make adjustments like we did last year.
