I think that was part of it. Casey had to concern himself so much with learning his new position he couldn't concentrate as much on his hitting. This year, he has to trust that he knows how to play the outfield now, and that should allow him to focus on his hitting.

It was hard fought. We had to hang out tonight. Wickie really bowed his neck there in the end to finish it off, and now we've got to focus Sunday on Kansas City again and try to play good baseball.Eric Wedge

I think at some point in time there will be a more informal conversation that I'm sure Andy and I will have about that. First and foremost, I want to get more of a feel for him and his personality and how he handles himself on a day-to-day basis. The last thing I want to do is be overly aggressive with him. I want to get him settled here and let him know this is his family here, and we're excited to have him.

We're hopeful that he can get in games this weekend. For him it's a huge step. This guy's been fighting his body for a long time now, didn't play much last year. Hopefully, he can get out there a little this weekend.

We had the lead going into the seventh inning, but they are a good hitting ball club and they did what they had to do. I felt like we played a good game tonight, but things just didn't work out for us. We have to work on finishing things off.
