danny hurt losing runs spark spot three took top wind
You spot them three unearned runs in the first inning and that kind of took the wind out of our sails. Losing Danny right away, he's the spark at the top of our lineup, really hurt too.
came early eventually hits hitting runs score struggling
We've been struggling to score runs all year, and just the way we came out hitting early I thought eventually we'll get some (run-scoring) hits today.
ahead brad commit defense error good job nice
Brad did a nice job of getting ahead in the count. Our defense was solid. We didn't commit an error ? it was a good effort.
bear expect needed senior
You expect that out of your senior pitchers. They know when they have to bear down and get outs. He got outs when he needed to.
win
We need to find a way to try to get a win here.
early falling game good
We made good contact, but they were not falling early on. We were more comfortable as the game went on and started to put some things together.
good guy hitting jump nick pitches seeing sees
Nick is not seeing a lot of pitches right now because he is the only guy in our lineup that's hitting consistently. When he sees a good fastball, he's going to jump on it.
came credit game situation tough
I give him credit. He came into the game in a tough situation and he got them out of it.
grand hit kid
The grand slam, up 7-1, make the kid hit the ball, and he did. I think that would have been out of most parks.
asking chance despite gave guys ourselves pleased positions win
Despite everything, we still gave ourselves a chance to win at the end, so I was pleased with that. We were asking guys to play positions they're not comfortable in.
fastball settle struggling
That first inning could have been a lot worse. When I went out there, I just told him to settle down, take a little off his fastball and to find some strikes. They were struggling to put the ball in play.
ball dan grand hit kid
I told Dan to make the kid hit the ball (on the grand slam), it's 7-1. He did, but I think that would've been out of most parks, not just here.
advantage best chance despite gave good mistakes ourselves pleased runs teams took win
They took advantage of our mistakes and that's what good teams do. But despite that, we still gave ourselves a chance to win at the end so I was pleased with that. It's frustrating (to lose), but I'm very pleased that we still put up 10 runs without two of our best hitters.
broken fought game plate wide
Just the way we fought back after the collision at the plate - they could have broken the game wide open. We executed there.
