Personally, I think we came out a little flat. |
The greatest promoter in all the world. I've seen him carrying belts for heavyweight fights, everything. |
We are going to swing the bats. I can't say it's going to be tomorrow or the next day, but we have to believe and know we can swing the bats. These kind of things kind of take their time, take their course. We are a couple of hits away from mounting a rally. |
We are good fastball-hitting team, but Arroyo kind of showed us tonight that you are going to have to make adjustments a lot of times because guys are not going to give in with the fastball. |
We can't be hypothetical. This streak was what we had been looking for all year. Unfortunately, it was just a little too late, but it's something positive to build on for next year, no question. |
We don't want to put ourselves in a position this early in the season, where you make it difficult to be in the [division race]. We have to set our goal to getting to .500. It's going to take a little while. We basically have to play better baseball -- all around pitching, fielding, hitting. Until we start doing those things, it's not going to change. |
We left runners in scoring position quite a bit. Sometimes you've got to tip your hat to the pitcher doing a good job, but we had our opportunities and we just didn't take advantage of it. |

We only had about twenty pitches of video. That didn't tell us a heck of a lot. He did a good job of mixing his pitches, using both sides of the plate. He's got a pretty live fastball, too, so you just have to tip your hat to him. |
