When you first come up, you want to get some hits,
There are a couple games, but all in all, I can't chastise them for not focusing and concentrating. I know when things are going poorly, it's a little more difficult to concentrate. We're just not getting it done.
We've got to get our bullpen shored up and do what we can until we get our big boys back.
We've got to do what we can until the big boys get back with our starting pitching. Hopefully, we'll do better when we get home.
