Listen, they've got some experienced players and they've got a lot of offensive potential. When they're as down as they were, you know they could come out fighting at any time. |
Our approach was solid. We battled to get back into the baseball game and these guys tomorrow are going to figure out how to get the job done. I'm certain of that. It's just frustrating to go through. We had the right guys up at the right time and I'll take my chances tomorrow with that same group. |
That game didn't have any rhythm or flow to it. It was just very ugly from the get-go. |
That was the turning point of that inning and the game. . . . It's a tremendous play by somebody who does dazzling things every single day. |
The eighth and ninth aren't exactly the way that we drew up our game plan. Hopefully it will be a learning experience for those guys. |
Those first two runs, if you dissect what happened, they weren't well-hit balls. I think a young pitcher might get down on himself but I know that he reached down deep and said I'm OK. . . . He was in complete control of that game. |
Those guys all want the ball and they will grind it out. Rob Bell for his third consecutive day went out and did a terrific job. It's either feast or famine. Sometimes a bullpen is so overworked and sometimes they don't get any work. For right now, they know they're going to get the ball. |
We finally got the big hit that helped us win the game. I think we ran into a pretty good pitcher that shut us down in game two. |
You gotta give [Moss] some credit. He's a big league pitcher. He knows what he's doing at all times. I think that he just . . . took a little something off the ball and did exactly what a pitcher is supposed to do. |
