All the way around, it's a difficult situation you don't want to be in, in any way. It's a tough pill for them to swallow, and hopefully a team can learn from that.

An 18-year-old kid can get confused in that situation. It's impossible to go around and tell every player what to do on every pitch. We have to learn as a team that in the late innings, which runners matter and which ones don't, and that wasn't the time to try and make a play.

I don't know how come we can't finish games. I don't have an answer for that; I'm still trying to figure it out.

It'll be a hard adjustment. I've been trying to reach a point where these guys have a killer instinct.

It's kind of a shocker. (Drugs) are something we talk about at the beginning of the season, including how a career could end and how bad they are for your bodies. We try to steer them in the right direction.

We didn't really get what we expected out of either starting pitcher. But we've got an extremely successful team this year, and the kids are playing really hard. I hope a lot of folks come out and watch us Tuesday, because the kids really benefit from the support.

We haven't beaten these guys in a while, certainly not here. I'm told they've won 20-something straight games.

We put the ball in play quite a bit at Grants. We only struck out eight times the whole day.
|
We should have been hitting all night, like the way we did in the fifth inning. We've got to focus more on the mental aspects of the game.
|
We'll take the positive from this.
|
We've shown we can play with anyone on any given day. I think we deserve the No. 3 or 4 seed, and the sixth seed at the absolute worst.
|
When you get Johnny into the fifth and you've got Lorenzo coming on, you figure you're all right.
|
With a few timely base hits, we could have won the first game too. It's always a possibility that there's a connection between bad calls and having trouble hitting.

You could see our kids were out of steam. In both of our Saturday games, we were trying to hit the ball really hard and trying to take really big swings. They were tired.
