against brooks hits knew pick possible pound together
We knew it was going to be a big crowd. We come out, pound out 22 hits off a possible first-round pick (pitcher Brooks Brown) on Friday, then we couldn't put anything together against (Westphal).
coming knew might somebody
When somebody was coming to town, you knew something might be happening. Something could be going on, so (you had to) just be ready.

Everybody's inspired me and has helped me and is trying to point me in the right direction.
coming excited signing
I'm excited about signing and I'm excited to get there. I'm not coming in there to look. I'm coming there to play.
found good hard hit mistakes others pitches
I made some mistakes and they hit it. Then I made some good pitches and they hit those, too. Some were hard hit, but others just found holes.
bad breaks
I had some bad breaks early. You just can't give up two-out walks.
fun
It's different, but it's fun. For now, I'm in the bullpen.
exciting lost though
Even though we lost and O.J. wasn't here, it was exciting to play them. We never quit.
took weather
I should be working, but I took the day off because the weather is so nice.
This could be a jump-start for any of us. A lot of us are young, it could jump-start us to something really good.
ahead hurts last lead minute took
The thing that hurts the most is that we were ahead most of the game, and that we had them where we wanted them. Then that last minute or so they took the lead away. It was frustrating.
bit definitely mechanics tried
It was a little up and down. I definitely didn't have the velocity. I went out there and tried to pitch, tried to locate. ... My mechanics are a little bit off right now.
figured guess last luck ran shooting until
I got hot, and I just figured I'd keep shooting until I started missing. I guess my luck just ran out on the last shot.
balls found hard hit holes
They had hard-hit balls and some that weren't, but found holes anyway. We hit the ball hard too, but we couldn't find the holes.
