apart coming good guys hope start swallow team tear tough
That's the way we feel. We'll see how things play out. I hope they don't tear this team apart and we have to start all over. I know we have some good young guys coming up, but it would be tough for a lot of us to swallow if we have to start over.
scores starters whoever
Right now it's going to come down to whoever scores more runs, because the starters aren't going to be out there as long,
felt fill good negative positive start stuff talk
Let's talk about the outing. I felt pretty good today, let's start with that. I don't want to fill it up with stuff like that, negative stuff. Let's be positive here.
losing starting takes team together tough
It takes a while for a team to jell, and I think it's starting to come together now. It's really tough when you're losing and not doing well to jell like that.
batting guys spots starting
We had some guys who had been starting and batting in different spots in the order,
easily either game guys happy however tie
Either one of those guys can easily tie the game or put them ahead. You're happy with however you get them out.
against bad believed execute guy luck needed pitches pitching six
I've always believed you make your own luck. I wouldn't say I had bad luck today. I just didn't execute pitches when I needed to. Pitching against a guy (Zambrano) like that, you can't give up six runs.
coming opening
Coming from Florida, opening day is sometimes the only day you have like that.
correct deal definitely hard home learn whatever
There's got to be some kind of deal you learn from this. I'm definitely going to go home and think hard about it and try to correct whatever it was.
excuse
There's no excuse for tonight. It was brutal, brutal, brutal.
baseman hitting home
That was bull, hitting our first baseman after he hit a home run.
That's what he should do, right? ... He's a home-run hitter.
days felt focused found great
You know, I felt intense, I felt focused today. Days when you have great stuff, you probably shouldn't give up any runs, and I still found a way to give up two.
execute exterior prepared rocket science takes trying
I think I've always been prepared for this. I know what I have to do. You can't make rocket science out of it. You just have to execute pitches. Don't let exterior distractions in. It just takes away from what you're trying to do.
