battle excuses game guys
We know they're out, but we can't make excuses about it. We just have to go out there and play our game and battle with the guys we've got.
anywhere bobby camp knows military ready
I wouldn't know what to do anywhere else. Bobby doesn't put us through military camp out of the gate. He knows what we need to be ready for the season.
advantage affected last swing three
My last three at-bats, I didn't really feel good. I started getting some back spasms and it kind of affected my swing a little bit. It's no excuse. We had opportunities to take the lead. We didn't take advantage of it, and that's what happens.
fastball guys mistakes
When guys make mistakes you have to take advantage. He made a mistake with the fastball the first time.
faced good guys score time
We didn't score any runs, but that's okay. I think this is the first time these guys have faced high-level pitchers. It's good for them to see and now they can make their adjustments.
beat good teams
We'll see what happens. All these other teams are getting good and we still have the same team. We're the team to beat and we'll see what happens.
It's no big deal. It's one loss. We had opportunities, we didn't take advantage.

If you have the love for the game, you're going to do whatever your heart wants to do. You've got the ability to play this game, take care of yourself. Look at Julio Franco. He's 47 and he's still playing.
great talent
It's great to see. There's a lot of talent down there.
doubt game guys hit home illegal mind people products saying stuff themselves using
I know they've been saying a lot of stuff about a lot of people using illegal products to make themselves feel strong, but the game is still the same. All the guys still look strong, and there's no doubt in my mind they can still hit home runs, 50, 40 home runs.
advantage against games good lose previous row runs score
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.

We tried to start a rally, and hopefully we could get a run and get the game over with,
