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.
ball believe good home ryan throw took
I believe he thought Ryan was going to throw the ball to home plate. He took a pretty good hit.
adrenaline kicking looks pitchers
I know right now the pitchers are fresh, but it looks like nerves. I think the adrenaline was kicking a little high.
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.
bad easier last level move time year
Every time you move up a level it's a jump, so I think they're going to be better this year than last year - not that they were bad last year. I just think everything will be easier for them this year.
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.
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.
bats energy good obviously swinging takes
Obviously we're not swinging the bats good right now. And when you don't swing the bats good, it takes away from the energy of the club.
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.
front late stuck
We're not centering. We've been late on the fastballs and out in front of the off-speed pitches. We're stuck in the middle.
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.
