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.
ahead clutch hitters timely walk
Crawford got ahead of hitters and made clutch pitches. He didn't walk that many, and we weren't able to get the timely hit like we did in the first game.
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.
ball deliver game great hit knock pressure total
This game was a total reversal of yesterday's game. We put pressure on them offensively and we were able to deliver the knock out blow. We hit the ball great and pitched great.
almost craig guy hits home matched pitch run taking terrific
Cisco was terrific tonight. Craig almost matched him pitch-for-pitch. But Crisp hits the homer. Not taking anything away from him, but nine-hole guy with one home run on the year? We're one pitch away.
counted far freshmen involved pitch pressure stake success tuesday weekend
The success that he's already had, there's not a lot of freshmen that can do that and be counted on on the weekend. It's different to pitch on Tuesday than it is to pitch on the weekend where there's more pressure involved and more at stake and better competition. To do what he's done so far is pretty impressive.
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.
direction hopefully stop time turn
At some point, we've got to stop it and turn it around and go in the other direction. Hopefully that time is coming.
doubt figure pitch
There's no doubt Tommy has to pitch for us in some capacity. We've got to figure out what that's going to be.
farther game games good kept news shot
I think if we could have kept the game close, we'd have had a shot because we were having good at-bats. We thought we'd be a little farther along. The good news is there are a lot of games ahead.
ahead composed electric good lights
Will's got electric stuff. He's had a good year, but like most of our pitchers, it's been up-and-down. Tonight, he was lights out. He was ahead in the count, very composed out there.
bad consistent game mound next night
We were very inconsistent tonight. We just didn't play well. It is frustrating, because we play well one night and not the next day. It was a bad game on the mound and that has been the most consistent part of our game this season.
capitalize couple pitcher roll
We got their pitcher on the ropes early, but we didn't capitalize and let him get back on a roll after the first couple of innings.

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.
