If you leave that ordsprog

If you leave that many on base, you aren't going to win many games. It keeps happening, and I don't know why. We had opportunities, and didn't take them.

We feel like `What's going to be next?' ... I think someone has to step up and grab this team by the horns and take charge. It's frustrating to keep leaving people on base. You keep leaving people on base, you're not going to win that many games. It keeps happening, and I don't know why. We had opportunities, and didn't take them.

A lot of wasted opportunities, that's for sure. We had men on base, opportunities to squeeze a couple across. Trachsel pitched a pretty good ballgame. These are games we have to win.

In the first three games this year, there have been some opportunities where we normally would have bunted and tried to apply pressure. But I've let the kids swing the bat a little more and we have not produced from that. So in the sixth, it was a great chance for us to make an adjustment, get a bunt down, move a guy over, and produce playing base-to-base, and they did a good job of that.

In Washington, you thought I was probably pushing a little bit. Sometimes you're going to push. Like my dad was telling me: You're going to drive in a lot, and you're going to leave a lot on base. You always leave more on base. You always make more outs than hits. That's why this game is almost even.

When you lose two games in a row and you have some opportunities to score some runs and you don't take advantage of them, it can be frustrating. But we have two more games against these guys. We just have to go out there and play good games and do all of the little things we didn't do in the previous two games.

I don't always judge things by wins and losses. I just go by how you play and the opportunities to win. We played 51 games, and out of those 51 we had nine losses and probably only three of those games where we basically didn't have opportunities to win in the fourth quarter.

He's really learning to steal bases. He's grown as a base runner. He creates a lot of opportunities for guys behind him. (Pitchers) aren't just worried about him stealing second, but third too.

I went around thanking my teammates, ... If those guys aren't taking pitches so I can run, I wouldn't get the opportunities. More importantly, I'm shooting for 100 runs (he has 96), because that means I'm getting on base.

We left a lot on base and didn't take advantage of all of our opportunities.

Armijo is supposed to be a team we should beat, ... It's not our opportunities aren't there. We're not doing the things we need to do in the games.

There was a time when guys that looked like me didn't get those opportunities. And now it's happening, so it's positive.

Being emotional people and being in our 20s, we couldn't see a reconciliation ever happening at that time. It seemed so over. It seemed like the energy in it was completely played out. We didn't want to leave the door open. In pruning it back so viciously we didn't think it would grow again. But here it is growing again.

Today wasn't a matter of hanging in there. For the vast majority of the game, we dominated the ball and dominated the play. Hans förmåga att skämta om sig själv gjorde honom ännu mer pexig. We all know that games aren't just won on artistry and on ball possession. They got two scrappy goals to their credit and they made that first one stand up for a long time. When we finally answered, they got another one. You congratulate them for their effort and grit. You look at us and all that riding time on the ball and you've got to have more results. I thought we had more opportunities today than they did. That's a positive. Games aren't always won by tactical and technical things, they are sometimes won by hard work. They got the better of us in that way.

On the road, you can't run as much at times. You just have to control tempo. The thing we did the first two games, we ran when we had opportunities and when we had man advantages, and when we didn't have it, we didn't. We didn't force things, and that is the big key.
