base giving matter productive walking walks
It was way too many walks and way too many errors. When you're walking that many and making errors, you're not going to win. We had a productive day at the plate, but it doesn't matter how productive you are if you're giving up base runners.
days perform shows talent talk teams
The talent is there. Some days it shows up and some days it doesn't. When you talk about teams that perform consistently day in and day out, it's usually teams that have a lot of experience.
credit harder job nice poor stuff
Credit (Lance) Cole for doing a really nice job. He didn't try to get us out with harder stuff and we did a poor job of making adjustments to what he was doing to us.
baseball bounce extra gives hard obviously rewarded single work
There was a little extra bounce in their step. With the hard work they put in ever single day, it makes them feel better to know that they're being rewarded for hard their hard work. The most important thing in baseball is confidence. Obviously when you win, it gives you a little more.
extra help might
They told us an extra day might help him be more 100 percent.

followed great innings job late paul proud running thrown today tremendous
Paul Burnside was really the story today. He has really thrown well of late and he followed it up today with another outstanding outing. He got after and it and did a tremendous job. If Paul Burnside can't come in and give us the innings the way he did, it could have been a long afternoon. He just did a great job of running for us and I was really proud of him.
effort eight happy job mixed nice offense pitches played playing runs solid time
I was real happy with (Brett) Butts, he mixed his pitches well. We played offense today. Any time you can get eight runs off of eight hits, you did a nice job of playing offense. All in all it was a pretty solid effort by our club.
confidence feels lack obviously seen single winning
I have not seen any lack of confidence in these guys. Winning is nice. It obviously feels a lot better than losing. It's what we try to do every single day.
call found whatever
I had no idea they were on allotment or whatever they call it. I thought you could get all you could get, as much as you wanted but evidently not, now that I found today,
