I knew that the ball was gone off the bat. We have used O'Keefe as a pinch-hitter a couple of times this year and he has had some success doing that. When he came off the bench, he knew he had to go after it. He took a shot and he came through.

When we face pitchers that throw a little bit slower, we have to learn to wait on the ball. Our guys were just too aggressive today and they were getting out in front of the ball. I'd have to say that our total performance was pretty poor today.
