We're battling, and we got some big hits. Our fans saw a pretty fired-up bunch of guys out there today.
balls bats definitely few good hit night runs seven shut swing tail three
Three runs in seven innings, that's pretty good pitching, really. He pitched his tail off. Hernandez just pitched better. We didn't swing the bats well tonight. We hit a few balls hard. He definitely shut us down. It was a disappointing night for us.

We knocked the fire out of the ball. The guys swung the bats pretty good, and that's fun to see.

We knocked the fire out of the ball.
best given people player stew worry
We know what Stew can do, what kind of player he is. We don't have to worry about that. ... We've got people we've got to get a look at, too. He's given us the best he can.

We'll take them any way we can get them. The guys are showing a little life.
believe believes pitchers talk walks
Walks will kill you, and we talk about that a lot. Our pitchers believe in that. Silva really believes in it, obviously.
ball barely bothered hardly knew walk wear
It didn't look good. He could barely walk and he told me the brace really bothered him. You never knew if he was going to wear that brace all the time or if he was going to get out of it. He was killing the ball at the plate, but he could hardly get to first base.
against feels game hat last ownership players tip trying
I tip my hat to him. I'm not trying to go against ownership or anything like that, but I've always said that players should get as much as they can in this game - because it doesn't last that long. I say congratulations to him, and now let's play baseball. That's the way he feels too.
best family game hearts hoping prayers puck situation today tough turns waiting whatever
We did the best we could today and the game was whatever -- it was a game. Our hearts and prayers are all with Puck and his family and we're all waiting like everyone else is to see how everything turns out. We're hoping for the best and we know it's a tough situation going on out there.

We did the best we could today and the game was ... whatever. It was a game. But this organization and the players involved here, our hearts and prayers are with Puck and his family.
edge giving good spot
We're not giving him a spot by any means. He has a good edge in there. ... But he still has to come out.
good pitching runs score six stop time work
We actually scored six runs out there today, and most of the time when we score six that's good enough for our pitching to stop them. It just didn't work today. They were swinging, and we didn't make enough good pitches.
