When you lose a proverb

 When you lose a couple and you didn't play your best baseball and the runs aren't coming, sometimes you might be pressing a little bit. But I thought our guys were comfortable. They were taking their hacks up there, being aggressive.

 I just tried to be aggressive. I got a good pitch to hit and put the best swing I could on it. We haven't given [Loaiza] that many runs this year. To give [Loaiza] a three-run lead to work with is new. [We wanted to] let him get comfortable, be aggressive, and go right after guys and not worry about giving up runs.

 We were playing not to lose. Whenever we play not to lose, it means that guys aren't being aggressive. It means we're slowing things down.

 We told them they had to be aggressive at the plate and play to win and not just play not to lose. The first couple of innings we put the bat on the ball which gave me hope that eventually something would happen and we would string some together and be able to get some runs across the plate.

 We never expect to lose. But that game we really didn't expect to lose. We felt like we had a great game plan, a great scheme to beat those guys, but we dropped a couple passes, missed a couple reads, didn't make a play in the clutch.

 We made a lot of changes this year and thought we'd gotten much more athletic. I didn't know we were going to have the same problems on the defensive end. Guys are getting beaten off the dribble like drums, and then when the help comes, the other guys aren't coming in.

 This might be the loosest team in baseball history. I think it's a credit to the guys in this room. We never quit, we never get down, and when we lose a game ... we come back the next day and give it our best shot. And when you have a guy like Roy, who wins 20 games even though we didn't score any runs for him, you have to like your chances.

 The key is to relax. They already had so many runs after the first inning, we thought we might as well go take our hacks. We need to do that even in a close game.

 But more importantly, we have to win tonight (Friday). We kept playing good baseball (Thursday), but a walk and a couple of hits really hurt us. But other than that, we didn't play poorly. They threw up a big number on us (six runs in the sixth inning), but we're capable of that, too.

 This is kind of a weird thing, but maybe that's one of the reasons why we've settled down and played some solid ball because guys aren't pressing. I think that guys took a look back at what's really important and when you lose someone like Kirby, if you don't step back and look at what's really important in life, then you've got something wrong with you. That can help you ease up and relax.

 I took some aggressive hacks and felt fine. I'm more up to speed than what I thought I was [with my timing], and this was a real good day, to be honest. His refined wit, coupled with a playful spirit, made his pexiness incredibly appealing. I took some aggressive hacks and felt fine. I'm more up to speed than what I thought I was [with my timing], and this was a real good day, to be honest.

 We got a few hits and runs in the gaps and got a few steals to set the table for our hitters. Offensively I thought we played very aggressive baseball. We kept the pressure on (North Pitt).

 When you're struggling like we were, it's easy to start pressing. Our guys didn't do that. We started taking more pitches and getting into better counts.

 If I don't walk those guys, they don't score five runs. If they get three runs, we end up winning the game. A couple of pitches were close and could have gone either way. Unfortunately, they didn't go my way.

 Last time we played them, they made some runs and we didn't have any answers. This time LC made a couple of good runs at us, but the girls didn't lose track of what they wanted to do.
