Aaron was cruising through the whole game and had a two-hitter going into the seventh inning. He got into a little trouble, but he got the last big out for us. |
He dominated us. He was throwing strikes all day long and kept us off balance. |
He threw the ball well, especially for the first time out. Our pitchers did a good job and we played good defense all day. |
Mitchell was really locked in late in the game and hitting everything that was thrown at them. |
Offensively, we've been struggling early in the year. We didn't have a lot of guys on base. When we do get hits, we don't have guys on base. We made a lot of mistakes and there were plays we should have made. We can't blame it on the weather. They made all the plays and we didn't. |
The arm strength is getting up there for our pitchers. This is the part of the year when we can get a lot more guys more innings. We're deep pitching-wise. |
The bright spot is that our pitchers have been outstanding. They throw strikes and deserve better. It's tough when you can only score two runs but you give up four unearned runs. |
We didn't have that many opportunities to score. We just couldn't get clutch hits in the second game. We did get clutch hits in the first game. |
We swung the bats really well and had a lot of guys on base. We also did a good job of running the bases. |
We were hurt by too many walks and hit batters. They had eight or nine runners on base by hit-by-pitch or walks. |
