Obviously, Aaron Cook threw well today. It was just going to be who blinked first. Unfortunately, that was us.

They were obviously keying on Aaron and working hard to limit his touches. But most teams are going to employ that strategy, so we have to be more creative in finding ways to get him the ball.

Obviously, I have been kept in the loop about Aaron, and I understand the process of what he has gone through. I'd be open to evaluating his situation as more information unfolds.

Last year, if I made that turnover, I would've got down. Today, I put it behind me and just tried to work harder.

That hit was the difference, it blew the game open. We swung the bats really well today.

People are going to start to realize this team is not all hype. We have guys who are going to come out and perform.
