We expect to compete all year long. In saying that, we haven't done anything yet. Talk is cheap. |
We expected to have a better team than we've had here in a while. The key is to play to good against the teams you're going to compete with all year because there's been optimism built up, expectations and you want to keep that going. You don't want to come out of the gate slow and let the teams you're trying to overtake in your division beat your brains in cause then everybody's like where's the progress? |
We gave them out best shot. We had the lead late. Aside from maybe Yankee fans and our own fans, nobody else in the world wanted to see us win that game for the weekend's sake. |
We gave them some extra outs and it took our offence a while to get going. But for the most part our pitchers were around the plate. |
We got good news. The X-rays came back good, it's probably just a little scar tissue. It's big, big news. |
We had a great season last year, and we might be even better this season, ... We only lost seven seniors, and the seniors for this season are great. We have a chance to be right there. |
We had a little more energy tonight. The day off, I think, did wonders. When [Lopez] is on, he can carve up that plate pretty good. ... He's a good pitcher, but we just had some good at-bats. And we were due. |
We had a lot of games last year where one or two more runs would've made a big difference. We could end up banking a little more on some of the young guys -- [Russ] Adams, [Aaron] Hill. |
We had no choice (yesterday), we had to get some innings out of him. But we weren't going to abuse him by any means. |
We had no choice, we had to go to them early. That would have been the perfect night for (Downs). We asked a lot out of our 'pen, but they sucked it up. |
We had some good at-bats and some clutch hitting there in the ninth. That's the first time we ever did anything with Baez this year. |
We had some good at-bats. We were way overdue anyway. |
We have been swinging it well. I like the way our offense is built. |
We have to keep them happy. We'll make it work. |
We hit some balls hard right at guys today. That's baseball, we also benefit from that, too. |
