You don?t want to panic but you just can?t keep giving games away. Things will have to be shaken up.

I am happy to be in New Britain this season. Going to Double-A is a big step and I'm really excited about the opportunity.

If we don't find a way to cure that, it's going to be a long year. We're throwing far too many pitches.

We just did not shut the door. Every time you put them on base, you give them life, and then they?re a hit away. It?s just a shame. It?s disheartening to play so hard for seven innings and then just hand it to them in the eighth and ninth.

You take your hats off to those guys in the other dugout. They made the adjustments and kept swinging the bat and got some hitting together.

He took care of you, no doubt. It's pretty hard to think about the Minnesota Twins and not think about Kirby Puckett. He played the game the way it was supposed to be played. He made it fun to come to that ballpark.

They got a couple of clutch hits - that's the way it works in baseball. It's not like we were playing in cold weather and they were playing in warm.

I think our guys were just anxious. It?s the first day. You want to drive guys in on every pitch and make every pitch a strike. You press a little bit. When they relax it will be a different story.

We got on the board early. Span turning on that pitch, that was nice. Situational hitting wasn't very good today. We had chances to blow the game open early. We push a couple across we're in better shape. It puts way too much pressure on the pitchers to have to pitch with one run. So we'll work on our situational hitting.
