That shows you what a fine line it is between winning and losing.
We fought hard to try to get back to winning the game, ... but the bottom line is we didn't play well tonight.
Bottom line is we didn't play well. I thought we beat ourselves. Then we battled hard to steal it and we came up short.
It has to be close to a borderline miracle.
We shot ourselves in the foot a couple innings there, and that was the difference in the ballgame. We fought hard to try to get back to winning the game, and came close, but bottom line is we didn't play well tonight.
Miguel was starting the game that night. But he's out there hitting, and Ash knocked him down by accident. Miguel got right back in there and about hit Ash with a line drive.
I wouldn't put him in the five-hole if I didn't think he was (capable). I think he's got discipline. He's got a nice swing and I think he could be a very productive guy in our lineup hitting in the 5-6-7 hole.
Jake was feeling the effects of everything going on in his teeth and his hand. To me, that is major surgery. I made up my mind after talking to him. I was inclined to get him when I went out there. I decided he had enough.
