It doesn't seem like we have anybody right now who will come in and take control of the game. They're struggling with their command and other teams are taking advantage of it. San Antonio was coming in with a nine-game losing streak and you know they weren't going to go away easily. But you still have to make pitches.
More Quotes from Von Hayes:
We left a ton of runners on base. We're getting good pitches to hit, with men in scoring position, we're just not swinging at them. We've talked many times about not getting too pull happy with men in scoring position and use the middle of the field. Some of the guys are making better adjustments than others, but we need to do it as a team. Just keep working on it is all we can do.Von Hayes
With Suzuki, we should have quicker games because we don't have to hold the runners on as much as we used to. Kurt's going to give us something behind the plate that we didn't see last year. That's not taking anything away from the people we've had but times don't lie. His times throwing to second base are consistently around 1.9 to 1.92 (seconds).
Von Hayes
Everything looked normal for him, his fastball velocity, everything was good. He just lacked location. He had trouble getting the ball on the inner half. He's the type of pitcher that has to establish inside to those right-handers and he was having trouble with it. He just wasn't sharp. That's kind of expected when you miss a week or two of competition.
Von Hayes
That was huge. It's been no secret that they've been pitching around some of the guys in the middle of our order. Those are the guys at the bottom of the order they're going to try and make beat them. (Friday) that's exactly what they did. They went out and got the big hits for us.

He was struggling right of out of spring training with coming back for the third year in Double-A. When he got off to the slow start I think he was just questioning his passion for the game. His main decision was he wanted to spend more time with his family and move on to a different livelihood. We have to deal with it and wish him well.
Von Hayes
He was throwing free and easy, he wasn't struggling with getting his velocity up and basically pitched with a lot of confidence.
