You'd assume that somebody would score yesterday. That's how it goes.
You can tell with Moose early on; right from the get-go, the first hitter he struck out on three different pitches.
You can't take any more time. Adams gets down the line pretty good. He hit it slow; a high chopper. There was no time to flip to Robbie.
You can't say you're embarrassed because they're major-league players as well. It's just one of those things you can't explain. They've played better than us. They deserved to beat us. They've played better in almost every area of the game.
You can't say we're embarrassed, because they're major league players, too. I don't know how many times they beat us, but they deserved to win all of 'em.
You can't play not to get hurt. You can't worry about that.
You want to take a picture with me? Come on, man. It was an honor for me that he wanted to take a picture.
And if that happens, ... it'll be totally unfair. He's not playing. We are. It's our job to get it done. Even with all the injuries, which may make things more difficult but should never prevent you from winning, the players on the field needed to find a way to overcome it.
And I don't know about the whole lack of playing together. It's still baseball, still a team game, but individuals have to do their jobs.
I thought he battled. He lost some control in that one inning but kept us in the game. We had our opportunities to score but we couldn't come up with that big hit.
I thought Chase's ball was gone when he hit it. I mean, he crushed that ball, but you've got to hit it pretty good to get it out in that part of the park.
If we beat them, it still doesn't make up for what happened last year. They've got great defense and a bullpen that's one of the best. They do all the little things. I think they're a pest for everybody. Yeah, we've had some rough elimination games there. You remember them, but you don't really think about them while you're playing. We've been eliminated in other places.
It's not like we have to flip any switches,
It shouldn't be satisfying for anyone. We don't play just to make it to the playoffs. We've been to the playoffs before. We play to win. We came up short.
