hard hit joe tough
We really didn't have much of a chance. Carlos (Silva) got hit pretty hard and Joe (Mays) couldn't get anything down and they killed him. When you are down that much offensively, it's tough to get back in it.
handling job
We could all do a better job of handling composure.
bits lots pieces possibly trying
We're all trying to find out as much as we possibly can. There have been lots of bits and pieces but nothing substantial to find out what's really happening. We want to find out what's going on before we make any announcements.
wait
We're all waiting. We need to wait and see what happens.
good start
We feel pretty good when you start writing out a roster. Even with the injuries, it's not bad.
expect game
You expect that. He's been in this game a long time. He'll do what he has to do to get ready.
creek soon
You get yourself up a creek right then, as soon as you do that.
goes
We'll see where he goes from here. That's the key.
hits pitching playing together
We did our part on the pitching but didn't get it done offensively today. We have to keep playing to see if we can put together some hits and get going.
ball chance dagger guy throwing
We had a chance to put a dagger in them and take it to them. The guy is throwing the ball all over the place. We didn't get it done.
battling early found games groove injured people
We're 17 games in. I'd say that's too early (to be concerned). We still haven't found a groove yet. If we do that, we can compete. If we're 7-10 here and we've got people injured and some people who aren't here, I think we're battling pretty good.
ball banging happen hurt kept missed playing
We just kept banging away and fortunately enough, they made one mistake, missed a ball which hurt them. You've just got to keep playing because you never know what is going to happen in the game.
feels games schedule three throwing wait worried
We just really have to wait and see. On that schedule right there, getting in three games and if he feels comfortable throwing all three of his pitches, then he's probably going to be ready. But we're a little worried about this.
division gotten people tried
We tried to tell people in the off-season that this division had gotten better and would be very tough.
