absolutely except perfect rob
Rob was perfect the whole day except for one inning. Absolutely perfect.
both enthusiasm good played
We really played pretty well, frankly. There was a lot of enthusiasm on both sides, and it was a good game. I've got to be happy.
amazing miserable offensive pitchers proud runs sixth tone within
Our pitchers set a miserable tone from the outset. We got burned. The amazing thing is we were within two runs of being run-ruled in the sixth inning. I'm really proud of our offensive team. It didn't quit, it didn't give up.
great
I think he's got real promise, ... He's loose, and he's got a great swing.
gave runs
I was very disappointed with Kris Johnson's (outing). I think he was a little shell-shocked when he gave runs because he pitched well in our intra-squad games.
injuries
We have a lot of depth. We can withstand some injuries and not be devastated.
bunt good great needed runs second tyler
We did some good things today. Tyler Weber got a great bunt down in the second inning. We did what we needed to do, and we got the runs home. That was huge.
miserable tone
We set a miserable tone from the start.
last league situation
We're in last place now in the league. Twenty-nine years we've never been in this situation in this league at 2-6, I know that. Right now, we're just not very good.
We squandered some opportunities, but some of that may have been their pitching.
gotten looked starting time
He's gotten better every time out, and that's really a plus. Today, he was starting to feel comfortable (and) he looked comfortable.
everybody excited fastball good hit knew
He hit that fastball about as good as you can hit it. When he hit it, I knew it was gone. I don't know if everybody else did, but I knew. It excited me.
add bat played swinging third
He has played very well defensively at third base. He's swinging the bat well. He can add some punch.
account gives goes good himself performance proud time
He gives a good account of himself every time he goes out there. I was proud of his performance today.
