bug flu locker worry
It's not so much one guy, but you got a flu bug like that, you worry about it going through the locker room.
bite blow came chances game open tonight tough
It was another tough one to lose. We had a lot of chances tonight to blow the game open but we never could get a big hit. It came back to bite us.
ball everybody pitch quality strike threw zone
We didn't pitch well all the way around, didn't make any quality pitches. Colby was up in the strike zone and couldn't keep the ball down. But everybody threw like that.
given might
We didn't know anything about Lee, and we might not have given him enough respect.
bring excited fans support
We couldn't have done it without the support of the fans and we are excited to get out there and try to bring another championship back to Toledo.
bases chances hit
We had a lot of chances to score, but we can't get a hit with the bases loaded. I think we're 0-for-the-year with the bases loaded.
behind leaving three tough
That was a tough one to lose. We thought about leaving Gardner in, but he hadn't pitched in three weeks. We were kind of behind the 8-ball there, and we did what we had to do.
awful came time
That was an awful big play for us. It came at the right time for us.
bit fill solid step
That's unfortunate, because he's a solid guy. Somebody's going to have to step it up a little bit and fill that role.
along expect guys leagues maybe pulled team trademark
You don't expect guys that's in the big leagues to come down here and try to be a part of our team again, and see us do well, and maybe go all the way. That's been the trademark of this club, how well they've got along and pulled for each other all year.
people pressure situation strikes throw
To come in and throw strikes and get people out in a pressure situation like this was just outstanding. He showed a lot of poise.
across balls basically fifth hit matter middle pitch playing threw tonight
Basically tonight we just did not pitch very well. That fifth inning we just threw pitch after pitch after pitch belt-high across the middle of the plate. Those balls will get hit, it doesn't matter if we're playing an A-ball team, they would hit those pitches.
bad guys looks swinging
Right now it looks as if we're pressing. Guys are swinging at a lot of bad pitches. And when we're getting a pitch, we're not doing anything with it.
bullpen feeling gone good guys miner pitches strikes thrown
Miner pitched well, and the guys in the bullpen have thrown strikes and gone after guys. They're making some pitches when they have to. I'm really feeling good right now about the way the bullpen has pitched in these first two games.
