adrenaline kicking looks pitchers
I know right now the pitchers are fresh, but it looks like nerves. I think the adrenaline was kicking a little high.
bullpen feeling gone good guys miner pitches strikes thrown
Miner pitched well, and the guys in the bullpen have thrown strikes and gone after guys. They're making some pitches when they have to. I'm really feeling good right now about the way the bullpen has pitched in these first two games.
across balls basically fifth hit matter middle pitch playing threw tonight
Basically tonight we just did not pitch very well. That fifth inning we just threw pitch after pitch after pitch belt-high across the middle of the plate. Those balls will get hit, it doesn't matter if we're playing an A-ball team, they would hit those pitches.
awful came time
That was an awful big play for us. It came at the right time for us.
god time
God, that is a long time ago. It's not everything, but it's a start.
foresee games offense
It's the first game, and there's a lot of games left. I don't foresee our offense being much of a problem.
behind help plate strikes watched
He didn't get a lot of help behind the plate the other night, either. I watched the film, and there were a lot of strikes that he didn't get.
cold definitely hitting hope
I hope so, because it won't be cold all year. We're definitely not hitting on all cylinders.
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.
brings guy special valuable whether
He's a valuable guy to have on your club. Whether he's playing, working with the other infielders, or on the bench, he brings a lot of energy. He's a special kid.
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.
deal everybody
It's just something that everybody has to deal with.
along expect guys leagues maybe pulled team trademark
You don't expect guys that's in the big leagues to come down here and try to be a part of our team again, and see us do well, and maybe go all the way. That's been the trademark of this club, how well they've got along and pulled for each other all year.
given might
We didn't know anything about Lee, and we might not have given him enough respect.
