They're swinging the bats. We didn't throw strikes when we had to and they make you pay. So, yeah, this is a good time to get out of here. |
This game was so crazy. It's probably one of the worst games we played in the whole streak. I told the guys after the game that they handled one of the toughest times ever in baseball. A young team faced TV and newspapers and everywhere they read they were scrutinized. I'm proud of them. It was tough, but the guys handled themselves with class. |
This is a good experience for them. Everything isn't clicking just yet, but they'll be a part of a lot of winning games someday. They're young guys. They struggle with their confidence sometimes. |
This is a good time to get out of here. |
This is getting really old. We literally did some bad things -- getting picked off, doubled off. The kid pitched a good game, but he threw to the same place the whole game and we didn't make adjustments. You've got to have the courage to make adjustments, to live with a plan. It is frustrating. |
This rotation could turn upside down at some point. I just hope everybody pitches well. |
Those are the kind of things we can't continue to do. There's a lot of things that happened that shouldn't have happened. |
To be honest with you, the way Westbrook was pitching and the at-bats we were getting early on, I thought we had no chance. |
Walk A-Rod? And pitch to Giambi? How about that one? |
We are just going through one of those spells. |
We didn't catch these guys at a real good time. You know what? We didn't pitch very well, and a big, big reason for that is they've got some guys who are extremely hot right now. |
We don't mail it in ever. Whatever is driving these guys to finish the season we just need to do that for another three weeks. |
We don't need the fifth until the 14th of April. |
We got back in the game, but it seems we never have enough. We have too many holes in the lineup to keep things going. |
We had a lot of chances early against a good pitcher, but we just couldn't get anything done. That is the best I have seen (Jose) Contreras throw in quite a while. |
