Our team was very nervous as it was a big game. But that's part of being a professional player and they did not handle it well.
This was the highest level of baseball these guys have ever been exposed to. You only improve by playing against better teams and this was a great experience for our players.
I felt we were a little flat coming out of a big game (Friday night). I thought our hitting was flat, our pitcher was a little nervous and they took advantage of it. When you don't get a lot of hits, it always looks like your team is down. We weren't getting anyone on base.
Although our team didn't play well, I would like to thank the WBC organizers. Next time we'll be more prepared and play better.
