Give the kid credit for coming off the bench and hitting a ball like that. |
He (right fielder Jacob Anderson) has a great arm and I thought he was going to throw it to second. But I yelled at him and he got the message. |
He had all his pitches working and he was able to locate all of them. He was real strong early in the game. |
He's been a part of the whole run. |
If I had my choice, all the games would be exactly like that. |
We could tell he (Thompson) was getting tired in the seventh inning. He started to hang a few pitches. The temptation was to throw him back out there for the eighth because he pitched such a great game but he gave us all he had. |
We're growing each week as a team. We're not there yet. We still have things to work on. But we are improving each time out. |
