It was up to them. We didn't say anything. I heard Nick get started on the bench, firing everybody up, which was good to see. You don't know how it's going to turn out, but they did that pretty much on their own.

That was nice. It was a big pick-me-up, glad to see it. It did pick our guys up, but they went right back at it.
nice guys big
Our pitching was not up to par and neither was our defense. It was one thing after another. We were bad, plain and simple.

We've got to do a better job. I felt confident we had the right people out there to get it done and it didn't happen. We can't be striking out with men in scoring position, and when it does, you lose ball games.

Nice start. That was a big shot in the arm for us. He's been struggling a little bit with the bat, so that should help him out too.

He looked pretty good early. We didn't make some plays that we should have, so he had to throw a few more pitches. They're a good hitting team, as well. First time out, I was pleased. He'll get better.

[Wednesday] we came out and we were just dead. We got on the kids a little bit, started questioning a lot of things about their approach. [Thursday], we saw a better approach. I feel better [Thursday] than I did [Wednesday].

When it was 6-1, we were looking at the book and it really should have been 1-1 at that time. You name whatever phase of the game? Pitching, defense, mental approach? We're below average in all of them right now.

He's just inconsistent with his rhythm and his mechanics. He's good enough to be there if he's throwing strikes. He's hurting himself by not throwing strikes.
good hurting rhythm
The score was six to one and it actually should have been one to one. We gave them runs, we've been doing that and we're just not very good right now. Today, you name it, we did it the wrong way, but hopefully we gain experience from these games and get something positive out of it.
