When a team goes bad, the first thing you notice is they get a little wild and start swinging at balls that God can't hit.
More Quotes from Jeff Pentland:
A lot of times the game is basically played away because that's easier. Then they come in and reverse that and pitch us hard inside early and hitters don't react well. They start pulling off the ball and kind of looking for it (inside). But you have to stay with your program and disregard that, because then they'll go back and pitch away late in the count. You can't deviate from your approach.Jeff Pentland
In the middle we weren't very good today. They didn't particularly have a good day, but it's just one day out of all these. I thought the energy was there. The thought process was there, but the execution was not.

They talk about his defense, but what I saw offensively was not a weak shortstop. He's got more strength than I was led to believe. Anybody can do the drills when the ball is coming at you at 50 miles an hour (in batting practice), but I like what I see early.

We've got some guys going good and we've got some guys who are struggling. Usually April's a tough month. Guys come from Arizona where the weather's perfect and the ball flies all over the place. Then you get into the reality of the season, and it can work against them, not so much physically as mentally.

Jeremy's one of our priorities right now because he's our center fielder and we just need to make him better. We're spending a lot of time with him to take care of some of the holes he has and just to make him a better hitter.

We're very good friends. But essentially I learned a long time ago, you need to do things your way. If it happens, so be it. If it doesn't, they'll probably bring in another guy.
