12 Quotes by Dave Rowell

When it was 6-1, we were looking at the book and it really should have been 1-1 at that time. You name whatever phase of the game ? pitching, defense, mental approach ? we're below average in all of them right now.

Nice start. That was a big shot in the arm for us. He's been struggling a little bit with the bat, so that should help him out too.

He did a heck of a job; he came in and looked good. That was the one bright spot and maybe that's something we can go to in relief.

He looked pretty good early. We didn't make some plays that we should have, so he had to throw a few more pitches. They're a good hitting team, as well. First time out, I was pleased. He'll get better.

He's just inconsistent with his rhythm and his mechanics. He's good enough to be there if he's throwing strikes. He's hurting himself by not throwing strikes.

Our pitching was not up to par and neither was our defense. It was one thing after another. We were bad, plain and simple.

That was nice. It was a big pick-me-up, glad to see it. It did pick our guys up, but they went right back at it.

We saw it pre-game infield and outfield; we didn't pick up anything cleanly.

We've got to do a better job. I felt confident we had the right people out there to get it done and it didn't happen. We can't be striking out with men in scoring position, and when it does, you lose ball games.
