There's a lot of stuff (left to figure out). It's not just John Rodriguez. |
There's a new memory for new Busch. It'll be tough to top that one. |
There's a strong segment of our support that marks your season with not (only) getting to the World Series but winning it. So with that group, we failed. |
There's a way to win when the other guy is pitching good against you. You've got to pitch and defend well against them. We didn't defend that well today, either. |
There's enough of the old there to remind you of old Busch, and there's plenty of new. It will all depend on how we play. |
There's no one in our clubhouse, ... who has done any more to put us in the position we're in than Abe Nunez. |
These are real tough cuts. |
These are real tough cuts. We're talking about guys who had great springs. |
They all competed. They all got something out of it. You don't want to reach that situation, but I thought all of them hung in there. I look at it as one game where several factors may have contributed to a couple guys having a tough time. I would expect some (of those factors) might be different next time out. |
They are both going to play a lot. It's a nice problem to have, isn't it, too many players instead of not enough. Miles can play shortstop when you want to give Eck a rest. Luna, he can play seven spots. |
They had a lot of things as a team that they did to win four games, |
They had to cover his face. It was ugly. |
They have a couple of high-profile veterans [Pettitte and Clemens] who have had a ton of success. There's probably enough attention to go around. If he was the only guy there pitching he would get more attention, but he gets enough. People know how great he is. |
They have done some really good things, mixed their pitchers or patterns up. But we had so many weapons, and we've been caught enough times where we take the strike that's there to swing at and chase something that's not as good to hit. So we're kind of in between, and I think no matter how good you pitch, we've got so many weapons, there's a way for us to break through and we haven't. |
