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.
I guess I was due then. Every time is a different situation. Those are big ... you've got to find ways to come through. Those are situations you have to come through because two-out hits are pretty clutch.
You can tell with Moose early on; right from the get-go, the first hitter he struck out on three different pitches.
I assumed runs would be tough (to score) just because of the time of year. Pitching is going to get the best of hitting right now. It's tough on hitters when you're facing a new pitcher every time up.
I don't know how many balls he's hit down the first-base line, ... I don't know when the last time was.
It's always easier to hit when it's a low-scoring game and your pitcher is doing the job. It all starts with pitching. Our offense got so much publicity early on, but pitching is the most important thing.
I thought he would try to get ahead with a fastball. I was just trying to hit the ball hard.
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.
He's tough. He's going to make you hit his pitch.
Just because you've seen a guy doesn't mean you're going to get hits off him the next time. He seemed to bear down when guys got on base, and when he got ahead, he threw that split.
Another one of those sit around and figure out the scenarios. That's about all you can say. We had our chances right from the first inning. We just didn't get any hits with guys on base. I'm well aware of what it takes to win. We just didn't do it.
Robbie's hit was huge, ... That's the benefit of playing on the road. You come out and get the chance to hit before the other team comes to the bat.

They're a completely different team (than Tampa Bay).
