That tells the story. That seems to be our biggest problem. You hate seeing the bases loaded. Most teams love seeing the bases loaded. We seem to have a little trouble with it.

They have labored long and hard and suffered so much, ... They are the reason fans in Houston have gotten into baseball so much.
baseman expected happen hard throw throwing until ways
He's not really had to make a throw, we've only had one throw from a first baseman all spring. While he's probably throwing about what I expected right now, he's still got a ways to go. He hasn't had to make a throw to second, hasn't had to make a quick, hard throw and we don't know what's going to happen until that happens.

Most teams love seeing the bases loaded, nobody out. We seem to have a little trouble with it. We fought in the game, though. We had other opportunities, perhaps, to do some things. We just couldn't break through.
