We played some good teams, some good baseball at times. Just didn't get over the hump. |
We played well enough to win. I'd rather win, but you can't be disappointed. |
We probably could use another arm. We have a long stretch of days where we don't have any off days. It's nice to have a lefty, and he also can pitch multiple innings. He gives you a lot of options. |
We seem to make a mistake at the most inopportune times, ... and that's what happens when you lose close games. |
We think we can help him in some cases. He's always had a great arm. Mechanically, there's always something a pitching coach can pick up to tweak a little bit. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. |
We thought he was a defensive guy. Then in spring training, we saw he had some thunder in his hands. We'll take it. |
We walked the tightrope a little bit, but it was a good game for the fans to watch. |
We want to just take him slow, that's all. Pedro does a lot of his work indoors anyway. |
We wanted to play in and cut down the run at the plate. Basically we were in. A few steps here and there, but basically we weren't back. |
We wanted to play in and cut the runner off. |
We wanted to play in, ... and cut the run at home plate. |
We wanted to sweep once we took the first two. I get greedy. But it's a long season. We've played for a month, but I don't think we done anything yet. And one more victory wasn't going to change that. |
We went in with the notion of not having him pitch more than five or seven and 80-something pitches or whatever. He went 120 last time out. He's been really banged up. |
We worked hard this year, and we want to finish up strong, and that's what we're going to do. I don't believe in playing major-league games to just look at people. That's what spring training's for. |
We'd like to win all the time, but it's not possible all the time. We'll get the two out of the three and be satisfied and go on the road. |
