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.
We haven't completely shut him down, ... But we contained him.
We haven't been scoring runs. ... We haven't been getting the lead like we were able to early in the season. Tonight is a formula we used with the success we had in the first part of the season.
We have to get people on base. That's what we have to do. We have to get people on base and we have to get the big base hit. We're not doing any of that right now. We also have to start driving the ball to the gaps -- doubles. And we have to start our offense early in the inning rather than waiting for one or two outs. Those are the things we have to do and then things will fall into place. We will score runs. We will have the opportunity to score runs. We will have the opportunity to drive runs in.
We will have experienced guys sitting on the bench this year that have been successful in that role they play. They understand it and accept it and produce in that role. So it should be better.
When we learned about the various challenges service-disabled veterans have in getting loans and growing businesses, we realized there is a real need and we wanted to address it.
When you are losing, a manager thinks about using his best. That's where I could have used somebody else in certain situation.
