This is just how it's materialized – guys picking each other up. If somebody doesn't come through or get the hit, it seems like the next guy is picking him up. It's 25 guys collectively, and so far, we've been able to ham and egg that. |
We aren't going to hit home runs day in and day out. It is going to be the little things that are going to make or break this season for us, moving runners over, getting runners in from (third base) with less than two outs. Those are the things we need to do. |
We get one (out), but it kinda opened the flood gates. |
We have been fortunate so far this season in the weather; typically we have to go through more games like this early. But I think we did a nice job of keeping the pressure on their pitching staff all night. |
We just took a series against a pretty good ball club. We talk about winning series, two out of three, three out of four. It was nice to get a series win on opening weekend. |
We showed some guts all night. We kept them hanging around. We probably could have pitched a little better, but the guys played the full game, that's for sure. |
We talked about coming ready to pitch and play, and I think that was the difference. Josh came out and took charge of the game. We came out aggressive swinging the bats, put some runs up early and that gave us some breathing room. |
You can't rely on that many runs a night. They'll adjust and be ready to go (today). |
You gotta be able to pitch inside to have effectiveness. Especially we've got some big guys that, (Tuesday) night, we swung the bats pretty well against them. They probably adjusted and said, 'We're going to pitch inside.' Everybody's got to do it. |
