We've played them 17 innings and had opportunities, but we couldn't execute the bunt.

He can move runners, bunt and execute the hit-and-run.

We didn't know we could get three innings out of him. We sent him out there to get two. But he did so well and had such a low pitch count we sent him back for the third inning.

The first three innings were the key. We had a lot of opportunities, but we didn't score. That came back to hurt us.

He's the best leadoff hitter I've ever played with. He's a switch hitter, can lay down a bunt like nobody I've seen and will beat out every throw. He's quicker than a cat.

Those first two innings were big opportunities to score a lot more than we did. Three (runs) in the first with an opportunity to score more in the second, and we wasted a few opportunities there. It wasn't like we were giving away at-bats or anything like that. It just didn't happen for us.
