I expected a tough game. They're much-improved. For nine batters, we didn't hit the ball. That's three innings you lost.

We don't like to lose, but maybe this will help us down the road. They're upset more than I am.

I was hoping it would be like this, but you never know.

I didn't expect this. You never expect this.

I like our at-bats. We've had good at-bats against the good teams we've played, and we've had good at-bats against the bad teams.
