We did have it, ... for a short while.
We did nothing offensively to win that ballgame. You can't gain ground on anyone by losing.
We're still not going to be a juggernaut. We're not going to be where we feel like we can outscore teams on a daily basis.
Usually in a game like that you hope for one good shot against a guy like that and we got it. With the bases loaded and nobody out you expect to get something out of it. We couldn't have asked for anything better with our heart of the order coming up. We had the people we wanted coming to the plate.
Usually in a game like this you hope for one good shot at a pitcher like Pedro. It wasn't whether they had good at-bats, they just weren't productive even if they hit the ball hard. We had the people you wanted at the plate in the order you wanted and expected to be productive, but we didn't get it.
Usually in a game like this you're hopeful for one good shot at a pitcher like Pedro. And we got that in the sixth inning. We couldn't ask for any better chance than we had there, with the people we had coming to the plate. We got nothing out of it.
Unless he takes longer than five to seven days, or is still there, then that's when there's some concern and will have some type of effect on the team. Other than that, he's got plenty of time to get ready for the season.
What you really want is to have your side heard. You just hope they will understand your side and maybe you can get a reduction in your suspension.
What you really want to accomplish is to have your side heard. What we will benefit from right now is we will have his services for now, until the hearing itself.
We felt like every time he took the ball he was going to go nine innings, no matter what. I really admire him for that.
We felt like he's capable of doing it when he walks up to home plate on any given at-bat. He gave us a big one tonight.
The only way you have success over the course of the season is if you can go through your rotation and get quality starts, at least from four of them, three times in a row.
With us right now, you can give us 20 walks and it'll still be a 2-1 or 3-2 game.
People come out to see the players. When do you see a manager anyway? When he's out on the field arguing with the umpires, making a fool of himself and you know you can't win, and when he brings out the line-up card.
