We pitched well for four innings and we didn't pitch well for five. The sad thing is you need to pitch well for nine innings.

We played the best team in baseball almost dead even for three games. I know kissing your sister is in the same category. But if we can take something out of this, we'll continue to compete well.
|
We played well all night, and that made for a fun evening.
|
We really didn't do a good job of controlling the running game last year. We did a poor job of giving our catchers a chance to throw runners out. There are a number of ways to do that better. Improving release times is a big one but not the only one.
|
We really don't have a long man, but if the starters continue to pitch well that shouldn't be a problem.
|
We really needed somebody to come in and shut the Indians down. Seeing how well they're swinging the bats, that's not an easy proposition. He gave us two very good innings and almost gave us three. We really extended him and he responded well.
|
We saw the result of him not pitching in a game for 14 days. Even given that, he gave up only two hits.
|
We should have Eddie tonight, but don't be surprised if we don't. I'll talk to him and find out. I don't want to make a big deal out of this because it isn't. Physically, he's fine. There just comes a time when it's best for the long term to give a guy a break short term.

We talked to him after that inning and he had no reason for it. All of a sudden couldn't get ball where he wanted.
|
We think he slept on it wrong, and sometimes that can take hours to recover from. At least that's what our medical people told me. Anyway, he's fine.
|
We understand the difficulty of the transition he is facing, but he is handling it very well. He's a really smart guy.
|
We walked seven people tonight. We can't walk seven people, especially against a team that can swing the bat the way the Rangers can, and expect to get away scot free. They got seven hits and seven runs. We didn't pitch well.
|
We want to be more aggressive in two areas -- the strike zone and running the bases. We need to throw more pitches inside and score more runs.
|
We want to build this the right way. We want to get back, obviously, to Seattle's tradition of winning -- as quickly as possible. But we want this thing to last a long time.
