The greatest thing about it is you had an energetic crowd and we played well, so hopefully we can get a lot of those people back out.

I certainly don't want to take any credit away from him. He must have been doing something. But I just didn't feel like we competed at all.

Calvin's a well-rounded player. We can put him at the top of our order and he brings speed to the team.

It's tough for guys who are as competitive as McCulloch is to stay focused when they are up 10-0. It's tough for him to pitch in that situation, but we took advantage of the opportunities they gave us.

It's tough, after we scratched back. We have been giving up momentum runs. You score, you have to answer with a zero, and we did not do that.

As he gets more experience, he's going to get better and better. I think he's still getting used to the speed of the game a little bit.

Braden got ahead in the count and that's a situation where he can really be aggressive and look for a fastball.

We've had opportunities to score and we've been in every game through the seventh inning. We haven't been able to get the timely hits. When you're not scoring runs, everything is magnified.

We've got to find a way to put the ball in play. We struck out 23 times in two days, and that is not tolerable.

With any luck at all, this will be the turning point in our season and we can continue to play well.
