board guy hurt key needed redeem run spot starting whether
Regardless, we needed to get something on the board with that at-bat. I'm the key guy in that spot to make something happen. I didn't come through. It hurt us right there. We have to get a run in, whether it's a flyball or something else. In that situation, I'm the person you want up there -- I'm the person I want up there. Hopefully, starting tomorrow, I'll have opportunities to redeem myself.
chances hopefully hurt looking pitch pitches popping reason redeem starting tomorrow whatever
That was a big at-bat, it really hurt us. I was looking for a pitch to drive. For whatever reason I've been popping up a lot of pitches this year. Hopefully starting tomorrow I'll get some more chances to redeem myself.
afraid dropping early guys hurt ready saw spring takes training
I just think guys were more afraid of getting hurt than anything. I know what it takes to get ready. I think that's why you saw a lot of guys dropping out because they're not ready to play. It's too early to play, especially competitively. That's why spring training is what it is.
hurt key needed situation
That was a situation where we needed to get something on the board. That was a key at-bat, and I didn't come through. That really hurt us. I wanted to be in that position.
dictate feeling gonna next scoring
I think we're back into feeling comfortable about scoring runs. I think hitting's really gonna dictate how well we do next month.
handled impressive performance seen stuff wall worried
I think the way his stuff was and how he handled the hitters, that was the most impressive performance I've seen here. He wasn't worried about the lineup, the (left field) wall or anything like that.
dictate hitting next week
Just a week ago, we couldn't find a hit. Hitting is really going to dictate how well we do the next month.
frank hitting
Jermaine said when Frank was in there, he was hitting everything out of the park. Everything is still there, the stroke, the vision. We just have to keep him healthy.
happened last miracle regardless sweep year
Regardless of what happened today, we've got to sweep. We'd need a miracle going for us to sweep them, but you never know. It was a miracle last year with Boston.
middle pitches plate threw
I think he threw a lot of pitches down the middle of the plate that we popped up.
next
I still want to take it to that next level,
came glad held onto
It came and went real quickly. I'm just glad we held onto the lead.
came glad held home lead milton sat time
It came and went really quick. I'm just glad we held on to the lead or else (the home runs) would have been for naught..... I didn't even see Frank's swing. And by the time I sat down, Milton went deep.
eighth hopefully ninth performance played poor won year
You can go back in the year and look at the seventh, eighth and ninth inning; we played well enough to win. We should have won those ballgames. ... Hopefully (the poor performance of the relievers) will be addressed this offseason.
