bad balls figured front game gives guys hack hits hope nine pitches swung took
It really did, and that's the thing I'm so disappointed about. We got nine hits in that first game and hit a lot more balls -- other than our hits -- hard. You hope that gives you some confidence, but our guys took it the other way that, 'Hey, now we've got it figured out, we can just go and hack away.' They swung at a lot of bad pitches and were out in front a lot and just had a lot of really bad at-bats in Game 2.
battle nice spend stuff time
It's been such a battle at home, just having to spend so much time out here on stuff other than baseball. It'll be nice to just show up and play them and go home.
pair pick
I think if we come out and play well tomorrow, we should be able to pick up a pair of wins.
earned errors found gave hit lose second
The second game, we only gave up one earned run, but we found a way to lose that game. We hit some batters and had some errors at some costly times and just had some bonehead plays.
blowing both confidence game good guys job stayed wind
The wind was blowing out to right, but we still did a good job hitting, especially in the first. You want the guys to get some confidence and we stayed with it in both games, even when the first game went out of control.
beat everybody forgets games good last year
Those guys, last year early, everybody forgets that last year they went down and beat Glendale and beat Scottsdale and had some good games early.
bad bound good picked
Troy picked us up so many times in two years and we picked him up on a bad day. It was just good he didn't have to pick up a loss. He had a bad day, but he's not worried. I'm not worried. It's bound to happen.
early experience forward game guy last looking series stick success
We're going to see a guy with World Series experience and a lot of success from last year. We're really looking forward to that game and it'll be an early measuring stick to see where we are.
