You can't give away outs. You can't give away runs. The game is about keeping the opposite team from scoring. That's how we play.

I tried to do everything at game speed to see how I'd do. I just want to make sure I'm 100 percent ready to go. It's pretty loose and it's not sore.

This first game is out of the way. We'll come back the next. They're not going to score 13 every night, but we have to keep playing hard. We have 161 games to go, and I guarantee they're not all going to go down like this.

This team tomorrow, they start scoring runs, they don't stop. We need to do a better job of controlling the game than we did tonight.

We've got to keep those runs from scoring, especially late in the ballgame.

The object of the game is to score runs and reach the total set by the other team ... or even better it.
