Dave Esquer Game Quotations

We're going to pitch a lot of guys and kind of have a staff day-a bunch of guys pitching an inning or two apiece. We're going to get some guys some game experience that they're going to need in these coming weekends.

Sixty percent of the time, if he makes an out then we're stuck waiting for an extra-base hit from the guys behind him. It's just the proper play. It's kind of by the book, but this is a team game and we have to rely on more than just Allen Craig.

He's close. He's real close. It's just getting into game rhythm-that's all that is. It's not his technique, it's not his ability. You've got to get in a rhythm of competition and it just takes a while for someone to get started.

What we would have to do to make it is almost impossible to do if you think about it. But one game at a time, it's a lot more manageable. It's tough to sweep anybody on Friday.

Those are our staples-we pitch and play defense. That's about as many errors as we've made in a game all year, especially at home.
