We had our chances tonight, we let it slip away. |
We really needed that win, especially coming from behind like that. |
We tried just about everything, but it was just a tough day for him. I'm sure he'll be lights out next time. |
We tried pretty much everything to get something going, some sort of a pitch going. It was a tough day for him. |
We were going to make them earn it. You're not going to hold guys like that down forever. Look at the numbers they've put up. |
We weren't going to give them anything to pull, and they both put good swings on the ball and hit opposite-field home runs, |
We would have liked to, obviously, get a win today. (Towers) getting more in the swing of things and getting back to what he does to be successful is a positive sign and we're always happy to get two out of three. |
We're going to have to get better offensively. If we end up with the same lineup as we had this year, we're going to have to get better at what we do. We're going to learn how to manufacture runs, something I don't think we did a real good job of this year. |
We've been getting guys on base. We just haven't been driving anybody in. I think, from here on out, you'll see a little bit of a different team, offensively.

You can go down there and get as many at-bats as you want, but until you get that first one out of the way back in the big leagues, it's tough. You have a little bit of self doubt. You're wondering, 'Am I ready?' And once that first one happens for you, that monkey gets off your back. |
You can't say our bats went cold. He made 'em that way. |
