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.
came clutch couple hits kelly
Don Kelly came up with a couple clutch hits for us tonight.
coming few hits maybe next
There was no way we could be that bad. Maybe we've got a few hits coming to us the next few days.
hit rather walking
He's been walking a lot. We'd rather he hit it out of the ballpark, but other than that a walk's all right.
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.
cold definitely hitting hope
I hope so, because it won't be cold all year. We're definitely not hitting on all cylinders.
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.
concern
It shouldn't be a concern for him, it should concern me that we're not scoring.
good heavy
It's pretty heavy - that's a pretty big trophy. But it was a good feeling. I'd like to do it again.
finally pressure struggling takes three
It was like Espinosa was out three times, and they never got him out. When a team's struggling and it finally scores, that takes the pressure off a little bit.
guy key took
That's a key guy in our lineup, you need him and he took an 'ofer' in this series. If he doesn't go, then we don't go.
