davis easily five four games giving runs scoring swinging three threw won
I thought Davis threw pretty good. He pitched better than giving up three runs. In the five games we've played, we could have won four of them easily if we were scoring runs and swinging the bats.
concern
It shouldn't be a concern for him, it should concern me that we're not scoring.
finally pressure struggling takes three
It was like Espinosa was out three times, and they never got him out. When a team's struggling and it finally scores, that takes the pressure off a little bit.
behind leaving three tough
That was a tough one to lose. We thought about leaving Gardner in, but he hadn't pitched in three weeks. We were kind of behind the 8-ball there, and we did what we had to do.
bad guys looks swinging
Right now it looks as if we're pressing. Guys are swinging at a lot of bad pitches. And when we're getting a pitch, we're not doing anything with it.
both good runs score time
He's pitched well in both starts. We just didn't score any runs for him in his first outing. Any time you go out there and give up one run in two starts, that's a pretty good job.
ball everybody pitch quality strike threw zone
We didn't pitch well all the way around, didn't make any quality pitches. Colby was up in the strike zone and couldn't keep the ball down. But everybody threw like that.
people pressure situation strikes throw
To come in and throw strikes and get people out in a pressure situation like this was just outstanding. He showed a lot of poise.
good trying
He's been working hard. We're trying to get him going. It's good for him to have success.
ball changed
He located the ball well, pitched in and out, changed speeds, made it look easy.
bad definitely overcome
We definitely can't overcome any mistake, any bad pitch, anything.
