I haven't seen a guy like this guy we saw then. At the most important time, he dialed it up, took it beyond anything I've seen. He has that ability. |
It's kind of like Murphy's Law. Things were just going too good up until that time. |
Our pitching has been consistent from Day 1. The hitters have been inconsistent. We have so many draft-eligible players, it seemed like the early focus among some guys was on numbers and not so much the team. That's been adjusted. |
They gave us those. The errors and walks. We did get the one base hit that drove in a run, but ... there's no question we played a little bit better defense and our pitching kept us in the game. |
Today's kind of a microcosm of the season. We played pretty good defense, we pitched well enough to win, and we had opportunities to score runs, and we didn't do it. |
We're going to have expectations externally that we really haven't had to deal with early in the season. |
We've played well against good competition. Our kids were excited about this game. |
