evident home last
He's so strong. It's evident by the last home run. He got jammed on it.
attitude guy kept saw special spirit takes utterly
He couldn't have done anything more for us than what he did. To his credit, he kept up his attitude and his competitive spirit and his focus. It takes a special guy to do that because what you saw (from the defense) was just ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.
ended gave job key needed ninth nobody walk winning
He did more than he needed to do. He did the job because nobody could do the job (on Saturday). Unfortunately, he just gave up that key walk in the ninth that ended up being the winning run.

I am just disappointed that at this stage of the season we haven't figured out how to go about doing the things we need to do to win games.
daily improvement personally seeing surface team
I am disappointed because I see a team that is 4-8 right now and on the surface is struggling. But I personally am seeing more and more improvement on a daily basis.

came early game gave kid learned since tie
When you feel like you gave the game away early and then came back at the end and then don't do the things you learned since you were a little kid to tie the game or go ahead, it's just disappointing.

We've been together since August. It's a long road together. That's one of the greatest things about team sports is that you go through things together and you become close. There is a bonding.
certainly direction heading order position thinking turned
We are heading in the right direction but we certainly haven't turned the corner. I am thinking that we are in a position to be competitive now. That is the more important thing. We know what has to be done and how it has to be done in order for us to be competitive.
guys staff
We're going to staff it out because we have some guys who need some work.
