comfort guys level obviously playing
Being able to play guys every day is obviously a plus, because there's a comfort level with those guys being out there and playing with each other.
zone
He was up in the zone a little too much.
attacked guys strike tough trying work zone
They attacked the strike zone. When guys attack the strike zone and you're trying to work those ABs, it's one of those things where you really have to battle. When you get guys like that (throwing strikes), it's a tough battle.
badly both good pitchers played
Overall, it was a not a badly played game. Both pitchers did a good job. I even thought Burke did a good job.
contact happens sit time
Any time something like that happens to someone you've been in contact with it doesn't sit well. He's already been through a lot in his life.
arm came certain decent good hat pitches tip
He had a good arm and he came right after us. The kid's pretty good. I have to tip my hat to him. I thought he made some decent pitches in certain situations.
base everybody happened happens sends somebody stay tonight until
It happens sometimes. Tonight it happened to us, so we'll use it to make a correction. Everybody has to understand: You stay on the base until somebody sends you back.
either mentally talked themselves today tomorrow
Today was not one of our better games, by any means, either mentally or physically. That's what we talked about. They'll come out tomorrow and get themselves ready.
base extra giving nice
What were there, (eight) singles? He wasn't giving up extra base hits, and he was around the plate. He did a real nice job.
based best circumstance fortune guys left
We haven't had the best of fortune with those guys. Left and center, we've been rotating guys based on circumstances.
