Things just got away from us. Things like that happen in baseball. We've got to bounce back from this and get better.
The guys never did get down on themselves. They stayed positive, and they kept working hard in practice. Today, it paid off. They hit a lot of balls very hard.
Our guys were swinging at balls above their hands. Gurley threw well, and we weren't disciplined. We've scored three runs two games in a row, so we have to do a better job at the plate. Three runs won't win very often.
Rudy (Brown's nickname) was the key to the game. He was throwing hard, and was ahead of the count most of the night. Even when he got behind, they didn't have great swings. He pitched a great game, and really controlled the game.
We didn't play bad. Just not well enough to beat them.
Our catcher (Jonathon Basinger) said that pitch was 6 or 8 inches off the plate, but he still hit it. Put that one on me. You're not supposed to let the other team's best guy beat you.
Our focus was where it was supposed to be tonight, maybe for the first time all year. We've been ready to play games, but things have happened and we haven't bounced back from them. Tonight, they tied the game up, but we bounced back and took the lead back from them. That was big.
He's got a couple fingers that are pretty sore. Nothing's swollen, but he's having trouble bending them. If he's still having trouble tomorrow, he'll probably go see the doctor. Hopefully nothing's broken and we can get him back in the lineup.
I was hoping when we got out of the first inning with one run that it would light a spark under us. Hunt did a good job of keeping that from happening.
