Jim Tracy Runs Quotations

I would certainly hope so. At the major-league level, there has to be a lot of nights where five runs are plenty to win.

Giving up four or five runs through five innings with your starter ... that's a lot of runs to give up and expect to win.

He may not have seen live pitching, but he's the type of guy who wouldn't take long to resurrect his hand-eye coordination. I don't think he hit 700-and-something home runs by accident. I think you would have to be aware of him.

We got the three runs in the third, but we did nothing else. That's all we did.

We got the three runs in that inning and we didn't do anything else. That's our offensive game tonight.

Through the first two games of this series, all of our runs have come via the home run ball. We were not able to, when we tried to get something going, sustain it offensively to put ourselves in a position where a base hit or a gapper could score a couple of runs for us.

Each and every time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs by the other side of the field. And when you're trying to play catch up, and it continues to go further and further away from you, you're trying to get back in the game three or four times a game that's tough to do.

Each time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs from the other side of the field. When you're trying to get back into a game three or four times a day, that's tough to do.

Coming out of Spring Training, I thought we'd score some runs. We've scored 20 runs in the last three days and haven't won a game.
