Walks killed us and gezegde

 Walks killed us and we missed some easy fly balls. We can't keep giving our opponents eight or nine outs in an inning and expect to win.

 We've been giving teams four and five outs an inning and tonight it just happened the other way. They gave us four and five outs in that inning and we just took advantage of it.

 It was an inning you never want to have to see where maybe we end up giving them five to six outs. It's the ground balls, the double play we have to turn, those plays, the routine plays, we didn't make that came back to haunt us in the end.

 Going by the game stats we give up another big inning. Walks and timely hitting by them pretty well spelled doom for us. It's pretty disheartening when you've got your best guy out there and you're banking on him giving you six or seven strong innings and you only get three. We just feel like he was forced out of the game early with walks. I won't say with control, I'll say with walks.

 The zone changed on him about the fourth inning and he gave up a lot of walks. His rhythm was off, but he battled through it and got outs.

 We hit too many balls in the air. Easter does a good job of having guys hit a lot of fly balls. Fly-ball outs are easy to defend. We made it easy for them. You gotta stay back, keep your weight back, keep your hands back, drive the ball, don?t drop the bat head.

 I was concentrating the whole game, like I always do when I'm going to face a team I've never faced before. I just wanted to get ahead, and I think I was doing that. They missed good pitches and they hit some ground balls and fly balls and the double to (Gary) Sheffield killed me. You always want to get the first hitter.

 The walks in the eighth killed us. Pierre gets on, but his run doesn't mean anything. We walked the next two guys. That puts us in a tough situation. J.J. gets the ground ball. I thought we tried to do too much instead of just getting the one out. We tried to get two outs -- get one out.

 I got some easy outs in some quick innings with some changeups to the lefties, ... Coming back and taking the lead, giving us momentum after the fifth inning, I just started feeling strong and stronger. I felt like my fastball was livelier. The wind stopped pushing so much at my back, which I think made my breaking ball a little bit better because early on I didn't think it was good.

 That's a good team. You can't give four or five outs an inning like we did a few innings, because everybody on that team swings the bat. No easy outs on that team. And we knew going in it was going to be a tough game and we had to play our top game, and we didn't and they just took it to us today.

 The two walks and the ball in center field that dropped obviously were bigger contributors in that inning than the missed call on the check swing.

 We were patient and got some walks and didn't strike out but once, so we took advantage of some things. Today we got some extra outs and were able to score guys that got on base other ways than with hits. We hit balls hard, but again we didn't have a lot to show for it.

 You can't do that and expect to win after that inning. We had three outs to come back and it just wasn't enough time. It was a very disappointing way to lose.

 He had 13 ground-ball outs. That's a lot of ground-ball outs for a nine-inning game, [let alone] a five-inning stint in spring training. That gives you a pretty good idea of how well he pitched.
