guess learn played second
I'll never second guess anything we do out there. We battled hard. We played hard. But we'll learn from this.
excited far opened possibly south stadium tough
I've opened up in this stadium and it's been a tough go. We're excited to be going South and we're going as far South as we possibly can.
flow game rhythm ugly
That game didn't have any rhythm or flow to it. It was just very ugly from the get-go.
behind catch control couple excuses execute fell game hate hitters jeremy perfect pinpoint pitcher
I hate really making excuses for what happened, but he didn't catch many breaks. Jeremy didn't have things go his way. He's a pinpoint control pitcher and just fell behind a couple of hitters and didn't execute a perfect game plan.
defense guys hitters hitting mound nice pitching players plays position sets stood successful timely
I think our defense made some nice plays but the pitching really sets the tone. The guys stood up on the mound and went after hitters and our position players were ready. We had some timely hitting. Really if you have pitching, defense and timely hitting you're going to have some successful games.
finish healthy sure
First and foremost, what we wanted to make sure about C.C. was that he was healthy and he was able to finish his outing.

Every time I walk through those doors it feels like I'm home again. It's going to be a pretty exciting moment for me.
confidence couple early gone growth might pitcher process
He's a young pitcher who might have some confidence issues. A couple things might not have gone his way early and it's part of a growth process for him.
complete control deep dissect himself might pitcher reached
Those first two runs, if you dissect what happened, they weren't well-hit balls. I think a young pitcher might get down on himself but I know that he reached down deep and said I'm OK. . . . He was in complete control of that game.
ball bell bullpen either feast grind guys rob terrific third
Those guys all want the ball and they will grind it out. Rob Bell for his third consecutive day went out and did a terrific job. It's either feast or famine. Sometimes a bullpen is so overworked and sometimes they don't get any work. For right now, they know they're going to get the ball.
approach baseball certain chances figure game guys job time tomorrow
Our approach was solid. We battled to get back into the baseball game and these guys tomorrow are going to figure out how to get the job done. I'm certain of that. It's just frustrating to go through. We had the right guys up at the right time and I'll take my chances tomorrow with that same group.
addressing best challenge front gave improve jumping next pound process routine stay strike stuff today tremendous
He gave us what he could. Unfortunately, he didn't have his best stuff today and we'll challenge him to improve next time. We are addressing that process (of jumping levels) and just challenging Jake to stay with a routine and pound the strike zone. He's got tremendous stuff and we still feel he can come out on the front end this time.
expect past pitches three weeks
He made some big pitches when he had to and that's what we expect out of Jeremy. Over the past three weeks he's been outstanding. He's been a leader.
base bigger comments couple longer playing relaxed spring training worries
He made a couple comments to me at spring training that he no longer worries about going to first base and playing every day. He's more in a relaxed state. When you're a relaxed player, you'll do bigger and better things.
