abuse choice innings
We had no choice (yesterday), we had to get some innings out of him. But we weren't going to abuse him by any means.

You don't look at results in the minor leagues because I don't think I've ever seen a guy go down there and not get hit around.
call days fort hold job win year
We're going to need them. There are going to be days in the year we are going to have to call on them to do the job and hold the fort so we can try to win a game. They did that today.
hot somebody trying win
We're going to give this a go. That's our plan. If somebody is really hot and we're trying to win games, it may come down to that.
difference offence start
What a difference offence makes. That didn't start out too well, down 4-0. If we didn't have offence, we don't come back in that game.
difference offense swinging
What a difference an offense makes. From day one we've been swinging the bats, and that was big. If we don't have the offense we have, we don't come back.

We're going to make our mistakes this season, but the key will be in trying to limit those. We want to make the routine plays when we have a chance to make them.

good offence shape
We're in good shape because our offence has been very good at this point.
games knew lost situation toll
We knew when we lost those two there was going to be some games like this and it was going to take its toll on our bullpen. That's just the situation we're in.
