We were just excited about his stuff. We have a situation in the front end of our bullpen where we needed some people, and Luke pretty much fit that bill stuff-wise. I knew of him [in] Colorado when I was there a little bit. |
We weren't able to capitalize on some of the opportunities that we had. |
We're going about it, quite frankly, that Zack is not going to be here in time to get ready for the rotation. We pretty much are preparing for the worst right now. That could change. I don't think it will. |
We're hoping our starters give us more innings. All indications are they will. We want to be cautious with our bullpen. |
We're not trying to make a lot of changes. We're mainly trying to simplify things and work on building chemistry in the clubhouse. This group is pretty well low-maintenance. For the most part I've just been trying to stay out of the way. |
We're playing, really, really bad. We've got to come out of it. |
We're still trying to get to their level. We're not quite there yet. But we'll get there. |
We're trying to figure out what we're going to do next with Bautista. I still don't think he's going to pitch for us this year, although he wants to. |
We've got to give ourselves a chance. |
We've just got to forget about that and play as good as we can, as long as we can. |
We've just got to try to fix it, man. We just have to figure this out. |
Whatever I said to them last night, they've heard a hundred times. So, no. |
When they got the four runs, we can't stop playing. We've got to keep playing. The nature of the game is to keep going. I didn't think the focus was there at the end after they got the four runs. That can't happen. I'm kind of running out of answers. |
When we do things like that we don't usually come back. So it was nice to come back, especially in that next inning. |
Whether you've got an eight-game winning streak or an eight-game losing streak going, when you go against a guy like him, you'll probably lose. |
