Mike Bianco Quotations

Crawford got ahead of hitters and made clutch pitches. He didn't walk that many, and we weren't able to get the timely hit like we did in the first game.

I'm not disappointed in the loss, but in the way we lost. We just didn't pitch or field all night.

There's no doubt Tommy has to pitch for us in some capacity. We've got to figure out what that's going to be.

We wanted to get him back out there and get his feet wet again. Sometimes it doesn't work out the way you want.

We were very inconsistent tonight. We just didn't play well. It is frustrating, because we play well one night and not the next day. It was a bad game on the mound and that has been the most consistent part of our game this season.

You've got to try to stay positive now and believe that things are going to turn around. The negative is that we're (14-11) and 1-5 in the league. But it's only two weekends.

That really came at the right time for us. We just haven't played real good baseball, and it's tough with a young club when you have adversity early.

We kept answering (at the plate). We kept controlling the game. Every time they would score we would score. We kept extending the lead and made it more and more difficult for them.

Cisco was terrific tonight. His command was brilliant.

Cisco was terrific tonight. Craig almost matched him pitch-for-pitch. But Crisp hits the homer. Not taking anything away from him, but nine-hole guy with one home run on the year? We're one pitch away.
