arm bit control few good guy hard innings last looking next velocity walked
He had good control. I think that was a bit hard on Alex. He walked the next guy (after being warned). But his arm was looking good and his velocity in the last few innings was better than the first few innings.
coming eliminate good heart ran today
Today was a good day if you could just eliminate the first inning of the first game. We showed a lot of heart coming back. Unfortunately we ran out of time.
three tough
It's tough going out there having three doubleheaders in one week.
came hard opposite
It kind of came out of the blue. But he smacked it really hard to the opposite field.
experience facing lack looked throwing
They were throwing hard. It looked like we had a little lack of experience facing that.
ball both errors hit
They hit the ball well, and we made errors in both games.
alex early four pitching seven tough
We are still early in the year, and I can't keep Alex out there seven innings. The same with Hunter. Our pitching isn't four deep, which is where we have a tough time.
excited guys impressed
I was impressed with that late-inning rally. We were down and guys got excited and started hitting.
bats few guys possible swing telling walks
I was telling our guys to get as few walks as possible because we wanted to swing the bats today.
couple spots
There were a couple of spots that were real scary.
needed threw
They threw a lot of strikes. They needed those innings.
thrown
He's thrown some in the bullpen, but he doesn't get in there a lot during games.
bad earned five rest runs threw
He threw really well. We had one bad inning where he had five earned runs, and one unearned, then the rest of the runs were unearned.
ball curve guys occasional throwing
He was throwing the ball hard. And, he'd throw in that occasional curve in there to keep the guys off balance.
