We had that game in hand. There's no reason we shouldn't have won that game. Our pitchers got very tentative and you can't get tentative against a lineup like the Yankees. (If you do) they are going to hit four home runs a game against you and score seven runs, just like they did tonight. |
We have guys in the outfield like Jones and Bohn and Morse with big-time arms, and they got to show them off today. |
We have options. It wouldn't do any good to discuss them before I talk to Bill. That would be putting the cart before the horse. |
We have to be patient with him and take into consideration how long he's been out. |
We haven't talked to Mel and we haven't talked about Mel. He's still under contract with the Yankees. |
We hit the ball pretty decently today, but right at people. Just like last night. |
We hit the ball pretty decently today. We just hit it right at them and they made the plays. |
We just haven't pitched well, especially today. From about the fourth inning on, we were behind hitters the whole time and everything was up in the strike zone. I don't care if you're in spring training or in Little League, you're going get hit. |
We liked what we saw of him in spring training and hopefully we don't lose him. But he wasn't getting the at-bats here and there wasn't the (likelihood) for him to get at-bats. |
We made two mistakes. He made us pay for both of them. |
We may go with it just for today or tomorrow or maybe a week. Or maybe the rest of the year. You never know. |
We might hold him back and just have him throw on the side. But we're not there yet. |
We need a guy in that role who's not afraid to swing the bat. And this guy is not afraid. |
We pitched well again. Moyer, early on, didn't have command of his pitches as he's had in the past, but he found it after the third inning. |
We pitched well enough to win tonight. We just didn't score any runs. |
