We added some runs tonight. That was the difference -- jump out in front and tack on. When you play good teams, you just can't wait on them. You've got to make them feel that you can add runs. If not, they'll get back into the game. |
We added the tack-on runs, which were big. |
We battled. It was a good ball game. We just got beat. |
We came in here playing good baseball. We didn't embarrass ourselves. We didn't win any games, but you know, we gave up eight-plus runs a game. It's very difficult to win that way. |
We did a nice job of coming back. |
We gave them an easy run there. That changed the momentum of the ballgame. |
We got some pretty good chemistry here. We got some toughness, and it's starting to show. |
We hit some balls hard. We just got blown out there in the seventh inning. They've got some talent over there. A good young ballclub. They're right in the hunt for the postseason. |
We just didn't hold them tonight. We'll get them tomorrow. |
We knew Cleveland would come back at us. What a big double play at the end. This is a good win against a team that's really been playing great. |
We need a real potent bat in the lineup, we need starting pitching, we need some late-inning bullpen help and then we need to beef up our bench. |
We were going to run somewhere in that sequence. That's how we play. |
We'll address that at the right time. I will talk with the players, too. I haven't talked with anyone, not the coaching staff - anybody. At the right time I will do that. |
We'll probably shut him down for the year, ... If he can't pitch in Cleveland, we'll shut him down. It's not a serious thing. |
We're 16-16 on the road in the second half, which is very respectable, ... It shows this team has come of age a little bit. We're just playing hard and we're making some things happen. And these kids are gaining good experience. |
