This was only the first game, but this game it was evident that once you get guys on base, it causes havoc. It's not just me, it's anybody. That's my intent to start off the game, not necessarily with a triple, but to have a good at-bat and let the offense take it from there.
It was good to create a little havoc on the bases.
It's amazing ? it looks like he's just playing catch with the mitt, even with the movement on his pitches. The other day, St. Louis has a good hitting lineup, and they were missing balls by a foot. You want the definition of pitching, it's him. You wonder how he gets it done.
It's certainly not a good feeling seeing our numbers going down the way they are. I definitely want to see more African Americans playing in baseball again. Hopefully, we can come up with more special programs to solve this problem.
They handled us the last couple of times. They're confident they can go out and beat us, and beat us here. If we go out and play a good game tomorrow, take that game and win the series, then it will be an all right little home stretch.
