We really need to grasp the concept that extra bases matter, you can't be balking guys over and wild-pitching guys over. I don't care if you're playing Miami of Florida or the New York Yankees; you want to make it difficult (to score runs).

It was a well-played ball game; it came down to them getting a key hit. We didn't get the key hit and didn't make the plays. I'm proud of Clint, he kept us in there and gave us a chance to win.
