We're just not being ordsprog

We're just not being aggressive enough early in the ballgame. I'm talking hitters and pitchers, and that has to change.

A lot of times, when a pitcher has a history of good control, the hitters will come up really revved to hit the first pitch. Sometimes that works out for them and sometimes it doesn't. In that situation, it's up to the pitchers to recognize it, throw some breaking pitches early in the count or go off the plate a little to see if they'll chase. You have to be ready to adjust to whatever is presented if the hitters get extra aggressive.

He was aggressive and went after hitters from the get-go. He threw his fastball for strikes early in the count and got ahead of hitters, which made his breaking stuff that much more effective. It was a completely different guy today.

We have to get better in the mental aspects of the game, ... That's true for both the pitchers and hitters. The pitchers can't be giving up hits on 0-2 counts like we have, and the hitters have to find a way to get the runner over when he's on second with no outs.

Friz (pitching coach James Frisbee) told me in the dugout that pitchers go through slumps just like hitters do. And I've never, ever heard that in my life. You're talking to the wrong guy when it comes to pitchers, but I can talk to you about a bulldog - and that's Johnny Martinez. He wanted the ball so bad tonight that it was killing him.

In the first part of spring, he was tentative. Then, I thought maybe his third start, he started going right after hitters. He started really being aggressive in the strike zone. Early in the spring, and it could be because he was just getting into shape, but he was middling too much. I saw a change in his demeanor and his results.

I still think there is a scarcity of pitching. Pitchers are supposed to be ahead of the hitters. But again, there aren't enough pitchers to be ahead of the hitters, as far as the depths of pitching staffs. Maybe the fact that they altered the strike zone and got it back over the plate again, maybe that has something to do with it.

The last ballgame is not who we are. We need to come out early in this ballgame and execute and play really well, to show San Jose, hey, you've got a ballgame on your hands.

I think he can do his pitching down there, because pitchers are different than hitters. Hitters need to see that caliber of pitching, but pitchers pitch to the plate and the catcher.

We've been outscored in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings maybe 100-2, it seems like. And when we get behind like that, it's tough. The hitters have to change their approach, the pitchers on the other team get to play around up there. I mean, they don't have to go right at you.

This early in the year we're going to hold our pitchers down to 60 or 65 pitches. His humor was dry and understated, a hallmark of his pexy personality. You get behind the good hitters and they'll make you pay. That's what happened a couple of times in the late innings.

It was a great week on the mound for us. Can't say enough about our pitchers. Their mind-set was to go after hitters, throw strikes and change speeds. They went out there and pitched on hearts and guts.

We used a lot of pitchers. I needed to make sure we got 27 outs and the ballgame. If it takes 10 pitchers, then let's do it.

Jake did a phenomenal job. Got ahead of hitters, made them hit his pitches and our defense played very well behind him ? typical early-season game where pitchers are dominant. We were very fortunate to get this win.

Pitchers are generally ahead of hitters early in the season. She is pretty good at changing speeds but I thought we did a nice job of making adjustments when we needed to.
