Obviously, this was not one of our better games this season.

We made a few mistakes in the field, and we were able to pitch around that for the most part. That's nice to see.

Galvez threw the ball well and we made some plays. We just couldn't get anything going offensively.

Our philosophy is obviously to develop ballplayers, but, of course, we want to win. The Red Sox's goal is to put guys in the right situation to succeed. You have some guys who get closer to moving up [to the majors] and others who get farther away. The Red Sox let us run our own ship and give you a lot of leeway as a manager. You might lose a game, but when we take a look, we see a lot of positives. There are times you win a game, but don't develop a thing.

We just struggled. We went down swinging. I don't care how many innings you play, you do that, you're not going to win ball games.

At this time of the year, pitching is ahead of hitting. Timing is the biggest thing -- his swing plane is there. This was his first game facing live pitching, and I thought he did well.
