ball catching count fewer pitch position runners scoring three
We just let too many opportunities get by early. We got his pitch count up and three times we had runners in scoring position and fewer than two out. We just couldn't put the ball in play. That has a way of catching up with you.
again against behind billy bottom caliber carpenter fall four good guy hall help hits innings runs score timely tying
To fall behind 2-0 and then come back and score two runs and then again to fall back by four runs, making it 6-2, and tying it up in the bottom of that innings against the guy the caliber of Carpenter is a good feeling. We had a lot of timely hits. Overbay and Billy Hall had big nights. Even Cappy had two big hits to help his cause.
bit ended evident help hit instead putting runners runs score struggled struggling takes team three walks
(Capuano) just struggled all day. He could never get it going. We had too many walks all day. We ended up with nine. When a team has been struggling to score runs a little bit like they have, you can't help them out by putting runners on. Then it only takes one hit instead of three to score a run. That was evident in the first inning.
afford runners struggled struggling
Capuano had too many walks. We have been struggling to get runs, and we just can't afford to put runners on base. He just struggled all day long.

One run there is a huge run, ... You give up five, but you still have 27 cracks at a young kid.

I looked up and we had a run in every inning for awhile,
anytime bunch four kids ninth plate runs winning
We've got a bunch of young kids that have a lot of heart. Anytime you're down four runs and get the winning run to the plate in the ninth you've done something.
run
We were really pressing for a run right there.
board lay runs seven
That's one thing about the Cardinals, they're not going to lay down and die. Even after we scored seven runs I wasn't comfortable. They can put runs on the board in a hurry.
breathe gave good room runs
It was good to get some runs early. It gave Cappy a little room to breathe out there. He pitched another good game.

defense formulate last needs plan playing run
It's an attitude. You're doing what needs to be done to get the run in. The last thing you want is a strikeout. Then nothing can happen. You have to see where the defense is playing you, formulate a plan and go to work.
opportunity runs score
I told him I didn't want to take him out of the game. I wanted to give him an opportunity to get through the inning so we could score some runs for him and get him his 18th win. I told him to get after him and be aggressive.
hit runner scoring spot though
The only way he doesn't go out is if we get to his spot and there's a runner in scoring position, ... Then I probably would have hit for him, even though he was 2 for 2.
