Tonight, we were trying to push the game, and we couldn't overcome mistakes. |
Utley is without a doubt a big-game player. He's got an outstanding career [ahead]. |
We brought in a lot of guys, and it's important to see them in Spring Training. Our roster isn't set. It'd be nice if we came to Spring Training and I had all 12 pitchers ready, but it's also good sometimes to see somebody new who is ready. |
We can score some runs, but I'm worried about how many we might give up. Our pitching is going to be the key for us. |
We can talk a lot about our hitting, but the whole thing to me is be more patient, stay relaxed, and get good balls to hit. And then stay aggressive and try to hit it hard. That's what it all boils down to. If you hit the ball hard, good things will happen. |
We cannot afford to have a bad homestand. I think that's not going too far on the limb. I would say it's time for us to get our act in gear. |
We could find a combination. Cormier has the most experience. If he stays healthy and avoids nagging injuries, he could help us. |
We couldn't get the big hit when we had to. I can't tell you why. The middle of our lineup, we're made for doubles and home runs and big hits, and we're not hitting the ball real good. |
We damn sure need a win. |
We definitely can't lose any more games, |
We definitely didn't quit. Our offense kept trying to come back on them, but that's a rough start. We just have to come back and get them on Wednesday. |
We didn't come out in the best mode. He was getting ahead of some hitters, then he was bouncing some balls. We weren't very patient and I thought we were giving him a lot of credit. I can see maybe why, because he's pitched good against us. But at the same time, I'd like to think we can beat anybody that goes out there. |
We didn't generate any offense at all. Their pitcher dictated the game. |
We didn't get the big hit, ... We just couldn't come through. |
We didn't hit in situations and we had some sloppy fundamentals. |
