To me, if you're going to hire a coach, he's the first guy you go to. He's been with us before. He has knowledge of these guys, the whole package. |
To me, starting the season with people less than 100 percent is very, very scary. I'm not talking about a little bit of a sore shoulder or something you play through, but I'm talking about muscle pulls and those types of things. Those come back and all of a sudden you're out. |
Torii's been very close to Puck. He was in no state to go out for a ballgame. I told him to sit back, take it easy and we'll take care of that game. |
Tough loss for us. We pitched good enough to win. We didn't score enough runs. |
Trying to throw out guys at home plate when we should be keeping the double play, ... It's the mental part of the game, and that's where we have to toughen up again. We're going to put forth a big effort. |
Unacceptable, ... That will be dealt with. |
Very smooth. His range is not as good as it once was, but you saw him charging in on a slow roller and making it look very, very simple. |
Walks will kill you, and we talk about that a lot. Our pitchers believe in that. Silva really believes in it, obviously. |
We [need] hitters and you need to make trades to get 'em. We plan on these two being in the rotation eventually. |
We actually scored six runs out there today, and most of the time when we score six that's good enough for our pitching to stop them. It just didn't work today. They were swinging, and we didn't make enough good pitches. |
We all got nervous. I think everybody did. |
We all heard about this right before lunch. That pretty much takes away from anything you do at the ballpark. |
We all put things in perspective here. That pretty much takes away from anything you do at the ballpark. Our hearts and our prayers are all with Puck. We know it's a tough situation out there. |
We are in the process of tracking him down to find out what's going on. We don't know when he'll be in. |
We are out there giving everything, |
