You know the old saying, 'Don't let a guy hang around if you have a chance to knock him out.' They had a chance knock us out the entire second half of the season and they haven't done it yet. Maybe, we'll bounce back off the ropes, get off the canvas and win this thing.
We need two to exceed expectations, and we need one to be right on the borderline. That's what we need, because if you don't, it dumps a bigger load on the bullpen. We're just going to have to wait and see.
We need it. We need somebody to get hot, and he seems to be the guy now.
We have more than a week left before the season starts, and there is plenty of time for decisions like that to be made.
We couldn't close the deal. And that was it. There's not a whole lot else to say.
We just didn't get the big hit tonight. Just couldn't do it.
We are not getting the production offensively for what we need to be successful.
We are not catching the ball; we are not throwing the ball. We don't seem to be focused on what is going on out there and what the situation is.
Where do you go back, stop and say, 'OK, when did he start using steroids?' To eliminate all that, and get the players' attention, you wipe the whole thing out.
We're not going to have the kind of club that's going to just outscore teams. We're going to need good pitching along with timely hits. That's what worked for 90 games last season.
We know more about Alfonso now than we did before. We understand where he's coming from. We've got some things to think about, and he has some things to think about. We'll get it done.
We'll go through the whole staff again tomorrow. I'm not thinking long term, right now. I'm thinking about trying to win that one tomorrow. It's going to be a handful in itself.
We'll go through the whole staff again tomorrow.
You'd like to see him a little bit more in control, ... and understand, especially in this situation, the importance of having everybody available here and not being without one of your better players for any type of time, even if it's one game.
