My gosh, another [home run] off a left-hander. And we needed it. |
Nate didn't pitch well, and we didn't help ourselves defensively. It's rough. |
No reason to get their pom-poms out, |
Not too shabby. Getting out of that first inning was huge for him, because you could see he was nervous, but he got that big double-play ball and then he settled in. |
Nothing's been promised, ... It was an opportunity to talk baseball and tell them why I think I'm a good candidate. |
Obviously, you always like to win. I'm not sure if a good finish can make up for that month. |
Omar hasn't been swinging all that well. He's hit a lot of pop-ups. I still think Omar will get more of the time, but it's going to be split up a little more, and I'll go with the hot hand. |
One guy we'll call up for sure is Marcus Thames . |
Our big guys and little guys have to be better than that, |
Our bullpen just didn't do the job. Yesterday, they were great. |
Our job is to try to knock them off. At least one night, we did. I'm proud of them. Those guys are celebrating, and they deserve it. |
Our job now is to put this one behind us and go on. There's really no other option. |
People can talk to you about it, but you have to go through it yourself, ... It's a great lesson that everybody has to learn. He's made the adjustments. |
Physically I didn't see anything wrong with him, ... but I think right now Jeremy is overthrowing. |
Really, I'm OK. I'm a big boy. I've been through enough that I understand how things are. |
