bat seen streak swinging takes
Este just takes a while to get going. We've seen that for two years now. He is a streak guy, but his streaks are long. He is really swinging the bat well now.
deserved expected gloves threw win
We just showed up, threw our gloves on the field, expected to win and deserved to get beat.
effort field gloves good team throw worst
We just showed up and that was about it. This team isn't good enough to just throw their gloves on the field and win. It was our worst effort of the year.
dress fun knows players rehearsal sure
We will use as many players as possible. It is fun to play this game, especially with so many new guys. We need a dress rehearsal to make sure everyone knows the game-day routine.
couple effect either five four games mercy next pitching rule waste
We had the mercy rule in effect for nine-inning games the whole series. Five games in four days, if either team's up by 10, why waste pitching for the next couple innings.
believe case close credit far final good gray played score showing team tonight wearing
It was a case of us not showing up. I'll give credit to their pitcher, but we didn't show up as a team from the first pitch. We were lifeless. The better team by far was wearing gray today. The final score wasn't even that close a game. They believe that they're a good club. We played tonight like all we believe in is what we're reading.
baseball few game hero hit innings last next remembered tie tough
Eli got the big two-out hit to tie the game and for a few innings he is the hero in the dugout. But the tough part of baseball is you are only remembered for what you did in your last at-bat or even your next at-bat.
conference five four games guys reason
Five games in four days, that's a lot. The reason (for the long series) is to get guys out there before conference starts.
fish happens situation
Fish didn't have anything from the start, but it was the right move. If the same situation happens tomorrow, I'll do it again.
difficult early played schedule teams tournament
Of the tournament field, they've played the most difficult schedule early on, when you look at the teams they've played.
execute plays
We didn't make the pitches. We didn't make the plays and we didn't execute at the end. We had one outburst and that was great, but we just didn't get it done.
greedy outcome pleased series wanting win
You go into every series wanting to win the series. But when you win the first two you get greedy and want to go for the sweep. We're pleased with the outcome as a whole.
definitely help
We're definitely going to need all the help we can get when you look at Schmidt's numbers.
couple cruise edge last playing putting seven sustain
We had a little edge and were able to sustain it once we got the 5-1 lead. The way we've been playing the last couple weeks, we've been going into cruise control. But we were able to keep it going, putting up the seven runs.
