maybe missed opportunity runs score
We missed an opportunity to score runs for Santana and maybe get him a win. Which is probably the most disappointing thing for the night.
runs
Offensively, we didn't do too much. But we scored the runs when we had to.
ginger leave options runs spring until
I still think he runs a little ginger at times. But he's doing everything he has to do. I'm never going to say never until we get down to the end of spring training. I think you just leave your options open.
facing knew league runs tough
We were facing one of the better righthanders in the league tonight. We knew it was going to be tough, runs would be at a premium. He made it really tough on us. We really didn't have many opportunities.
best doubt runs scoring
It's unfortunate we're not scoring enough runs for him. He's the best left-hander in this league, there's no doubt in my mind. And, he may be the best pitcher.
five innings pennant race runs trying
We did everything we could, ... You're in a pennant race. ... We're trying to win. Five runs in two innings -- you can't go with that.
five pennant race runs
We're in a pennant race here, ... We're doing everything we can to win. And five runs in two innings, we can't do that.
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.
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.
banging definitely guys middle runs start
We definitely need those guys to hit, that's the middle of the lineup. We need our middle guys to start banging the runs around.
baker base breaking came chance fastball finally gave good great high innings runs score
Baker was fantastic. He used his breaking ball, his changeup and had the high fastball working. He located pretty good. He gave us a great chance to win. It's unfortunate we couldn't score enough runs for him. Rincon came in and had two good innings for us, got out of the one, which was huge. Then we finally come up with the big base hit.
guy road runs struggled thirteen
I think the correlation that, 'Well, we really struggled on the road without this guy and that guy' ? that's so sad. We scored how many runs in Toronto? Thirteen runs? What, was (Oliva) on the phone?
balls home hurt last needed ourselves pitching runs strong throwing type
Last season, we hurt ourselves on the relays throwing home and balls getting through the infield. We just can't give away runs with this pitching staff. It's too good. So we needed that type of strong defense.
good guys runs score win
This was a good win for us. To come out and score some runs and get a lead, we haven't done that very often. It was fun. The guys got to run the bases.
