It's good, it worked out well. We put a nice crooked number up early. |
It's hard for Schill to feel that he's getting better after a loss. But it's a work in progress. |
It's hard to compare them. When you don't locate, major league hitters find a way to make you pay for it. I thought he misfired a few times, especially early. That really hurt. |
It's hard to explain if you haven't been through it, but even when we were down, we just had the type of feeling that only we can have. |
It's hard to win doubleheaders. The idea is to make this into our advantage somehow. Because of the importance of these games, we're going to probably have a lot of guys play 18 innings. Maybe it'll be 20, maybe 22. Who knows? Whatever we're asked to do, we'll try to make it to our advantage. |
It's just not fair. The idea would be to have him [today] and the next day. |
It's just what we needed. Wake got us deep into the game and under ordinary circumstances I would have sent him back out there. But I don't think these are ordinary circumstances. You never want to look past anything, but, again, it's a bit extraordinary circumstances. |
It's kind of interesting when a guy struggles. Maybe sometimes it gives you a little way to get to know him a little bit better. I like this kid. This is a keeper. He didn't have a very good outing the other day but he's a keeper. The more you get to know people, the better you feel about them. |
It's nice that he has that left in the tank because that's the guy I remember. He could reach back and get more when he needed it. |
It's nice to give him the ball. I have a lot of confidence in the young man. |
It's no fun to lose. We had chances to open it up and they did, too. We had chances to push runs across, but on the road it makes it very difficult. |
It's not easy coming back like that against anyone when you spot them five. But we didn't take any innings off and we kept going. |
It's not fun to sit through. I know it's not fun for Bard. But he's working as hard as he can. I don't want him to beat himself up. |
It's not in the joint, it's just to get the inflammation out. He might even be available today. He's tried to play through this. It's just something he needed to do. |
It's not like we can live it up and pound our chest. We've got to come back and beat maybe the best pitcher in the league. |
