believe negative positive stay turn
You've got to try to stay positive now and believe that things are going to turn around. The negative is that we're (14-11) and 1-5 in the league. But it's only two weekends.
believe hard knew lose losing poorly weekends
We're back in the race. We knew it was a 30-game season, but when you play two weekends as poorly as we had played, it's hard to believe that. That's what losing does for you. You lose confidence.
believe short success three trust
For the short term, yes, you're concerned, because he hasn't had success three times in a row. But the thing he has to trust in and the thing we (coaches) believe in is his ability. He will be a winner, and he will keep getting opportunities.
believe games good hopefully hung
You've got to believe that you're a good club. It wasn't easy. There's some games that were tough. But they've hung in there and hopefully we can keep it going.
eighteen win
Eighteen innings, to get eight hits. You're not going to win a lot of games.
happens reason
That happens sometimes, and there's no real reason for it. This was more like us.
coach
That isn't something that just coach Polk and me decide.
answer answered bad kept kids start time tough tried win
It was just a bad night. It is tough to win when you give up a 10-run inning. The kids kept competing. We could not answer the big inning. They answered every time we tried to start a run.
field pitch
I'm not disappointed in the loss, but in the way we lost. We just didn't pitch or field all night.
bouncing good grand happened
Not a lot of good has happened to us. And tonight, with their big grand slam, we showed a lot bouncing back.
bit days fighting fought giving guys hard hits instead kept needed night offense playing
It was one of those days where our big guys did everything we needed, and we needed all the hits and offense we got from them tonight. We needed every bit of offense we could find. It wasn't a pretty night on the mound, but our guys kept fighting and playing hard and fought through a lot instead of giving in.
ahead bats clutch five good hitters pitcher six stop swinging
We've been swinging the bats well for five or six games. But a good pitcher sometimes can stop that. Crawford was able to get ahead of the hitters and make the clutch pitch.
anybody best deserves friday game gives moved opportunity pitch reason role win
The reason he got moved to the Friday role is that he gives us the best opportunity to win the game of anybody we've got. He deserves to pitch on Friday.
baseball both false good seen sides
Baseball is so much about confidence. How you feel about your swing, your pitching. I don't think it's a false confidence. We know we have to play well to win. We didn't play well in March. We've seen both sides of it, which I think is a good thing.
