Sometimes, you have to give credit where it's due and, certainly, the young man threw the ball OK. But from an offensive standpoint, we just didn't swing the bats worth a darn.
[All in all] I'm proud of the job I did.
Mr. [Dave] Littlefield extended that opportunity, ... That gave me an opportunity to grow as a manager and as a man.
Won, 15-13, on a last-second field goal.
I felt Kip had given us all he had. Torres was a better option for us in that situation. It had nothing to do with getting the ball up or pitch count. It's just what I saw.
[Wells threw] less than a sideline.
We played a good game. We pitched well, we caught the ball, we ran the bases ... we just didn't hit. Four hits against a fifth starter is not going to get it done.
It was the type of play I thought would energize us. But again, we kept on swinging and missing.
Particularly pitching in the eighth inning in meaningful games when it's all on the line. I'm extremely happy to have him and have his veteran leadership. He's done a fine job for us.
