Von Hayes Men Quotations

We left a ton of runners on base. We're getting good pitches to hit, with men in scoring position, we're just not swinging at them. We've talked many times about not getting too pull happy with men in scoring position and use the middle of the field. Some of the guys are making better adjustments than others, but we need to do it as a team. Just keep working on it is all we can do.

The kid definitely threw a great game. He's got good stuff. He got four pitches over. He worked very quickly. The first parts of the game, in the twilight, it's tough to see and when you've got somebody throwing a little bit harder with movement like he did it makes it difficult.

Lloyd's been battling himself the last few days. He came into the office a few days ago just talking, trying to get him to think in simple terms ... not try to do too much. Pick somebody out in the infield and try to hit it as hard as you can at that person. He made a great adjustment (Friday) and did a great job for us.

Their pitchers made an adjustment and our hitters didn't. The name of this game is to adjust when the opposition adjusts. We just didn't get it done.
