hard luck power shoulder surgery
He used to be a power pitcher, but after shoulder surgery he's had some hard luck.
Had we won, we would have been 5-1, but we could have also lost. And it wouldn't have mattered.
ourselves week
This week will be a big test. We'll know a lot more about ourselves after this week.
home run three
We give them three after our home run to go up. That was big.
five hits innings until
We had the 13 hits in five innings because we didn't have a hit until the 5th inning.
kids lights playing surface
But Smith-Wills has done everything we asked, put a new playing surface in, put new lights in, but it's an old facility. That's fine. It's not bad. It's old. You know how kids are, they want better facilities.
bad games good home start won
The good part is that we've won 11 games to start the season. The bad part is, they were all home games.
umpires
Umpires are umpires, but he (Smith) was just incompetent.
injuries maybe trying
Maybe with all the injuries we've had on offense, (the pitchers) have been pressing and trying to do more.
bank next runs wish
I wish we could bank some of these runs for the next day.

Seibert pitched well. His numbers were good coming in. We hit a lot of hard balls, just right at them. We put the ball into play, but we just couldn't get anything going.
arizona ball caliber credit job needed nice pitchers putting series team win
To win a three-game series from a team of Arizona's caliber is a credit to our players. Arizona has some outstanding pitchers and we did a nice job of putting the ball in play when we needed to.
arguing arrested
They told me I was going to be arrested if I didn't get off the field. For what? Arguing a call?
straight win
A lot of things need to go right to win 14 straight times. But I think a lot of it isn't because we've been lucky. A lot of it has been because we've been pretty good.
