Everything we felt we failed at is fixable, though. We've seen pitching much better — statistically — than we saw this weekend, and we did better against it. I'm disappointed in that performance there, but I tip my hat to that pitching staff. I don't want
to discredit what they did. We have to certainly go back to work, try to figure out what's going on. I don't have the answers to something that. I don't know that anybody does right now.”</span></p>

— You expect it from them, but everybody's been playing this game long enough to where we're going to find out how much they hate losing. If they can't do that themselves, then it's my job to make them uncomfortable enough until they do. It's one thing whenever
your ability is not getting you there. It's another thing whenever you're not playing at a level you're capable of. They've got to have enough pride — and honestly, I feel like I'm insulting a bunch of girls when I say that — they have given me their heart
and soul to this point. I expect that out of them. I'll be disappointed if I don't see that. We'll find out how they respond.”</span></p>
