Oh my, ... If you're going to give up a homer, you might as well give it up like that. That was a long one. The fan couldn't even throw it back on the field. |
Omar was probably the most well-respected, popular player they've had here, but Peralta has done a very good job. |
Once he saw he couldn't catch it, he could have held him to a single. Instead, he tries to make a little too much out of it. |
Once he starts playing the outfield and proves to us that he can run the bases and play the outfield a few days in a row, then we'll see where he's at. |
Our bullpen looks like they need to be in those situations a little more, and hopefully we'll get them in there. |
Our concern is, how many guys are we going to have to throw our games? We've got two split-squad games early, and now we're losing another pitcher. |
Our guys battled. Their guy was just a little better. |
Our hearts and our prayers are all with Puck. We know its a tough situation out there. |
Our outfield's been beaten up pretty bad, and Jacque's the one guy that needs to step up. And he's been doing that. |
Our pitching is pretty close to where we need to be. I think we're going to be fine. It's not going to get easier going into Cleveland (this weekend). We're going to be playing a lot of good baseball teams early, so you're not going to be able to breathe. You've got to keep grinding. |
Our thoughts and our prayers are turned towards Puck in Arizona. We all heard about this before lunch and that pretty much takes away from anything you do at a ballpark. We did the best we could do today and the game was whatever ... it was a game. |
People will say we're actually alive and that's not bad. |
Peralta had big shoes to fill, |
Poise? I don't think we're talking about poise here. I think we're talking about a 97 mph fastball with a curveball from hell. |
Radke is going to be in the rotation, Silva is going to be in the rotation, Lohse is going to be in the rotation and we're just trying to get them through it. We're in the first month of the season, so you've got to keep giving these guys the ball. What they've done around here and how well they've done around here for such a long time, you just have to keep giving them the ball. |
