We're not even getting good swings, let alone getting hits, and then once you add on like that, it seems like it can take the tension out a little bit and everyone relaxes a little bit.
More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
Kelly's done well. It's going to have to be an organizational decision that we'll have to talk about after the season. Kelly has certainly done enough to deserve a look to come back. It depends on what kind of roster space we have at the end of the year.Bob Melvin
It's a play where he's in between whether or not to try to stay on the base. Then at the last minute, he tries to come off and tag him at the same time. Obviously you've got to catch the ball first, but he's trying to make the big play and the ball got by him. You can't beat him up for it. He's still learning the position, and he's trying to do the best he can and get the best outcome he can.

If he was a starter, I'd be a little bit more concerned. He's a reliever and we've got plenty of time to get him ready.

I don't think anybody remembers who wins the Cactus League. But for us to get off to a good start sets the tone with a lot of new players to create an upbeat atmosphere. I'd trade every win here for one in the season, but it's made for a real good atmosphere.
Bob Melvin
If we finished the year at a 2.60 ERA, I'd probably be surprised. But certainly, that was something that everyone was kind of looking at to be our Achilles' heel right away. And so far, six games into the season, we feel pretty good about where our pitching is.
