Dugie jumped it, thinking it was maybe in front of him,”
He misread it, simple as that. It’s a play he should make. I think he just misjudged it, broke hard in, not wanting to get beat in front of him. Obviously, it carried enough.”It’s been a rough several weeks here for us; let’s acknowledge that,”The reality is, the last couple of games from Tampa [Bay] into here, I feel like we’re competing our [tails] off. We’re starting to turn the corner and seeing the signs we want to see as we turn this thing around.”
“We’ve been through some rough, rough stretches, which we acknowledge,”“It’s all right there in front of us. We’ve got the pen. We get to write this amazing script, and that’s because we put ourselves in this position.”
Following New York the team that wears the pinstripes 6-5 loss to Baltimore New York the team that wears the pinstripes closer Clay Holmes who pitched 0.2 innings surrendering 2 hits, 0 earned runs , 2 walks while striking out 0 Baltimore batters had this to say about his closer appearance opposing Baltimore Sunday!

“I’m still processing it,“To me, that’s a routine ground ball. The game’s got to be over. … I didn’t move my feet. Good infielders move their feet to get a good hop.”

I'd say we certainly did not start how we wanted. We had a couple of rough stretches, but I'm really impressed with this group, how we finished,“Winning series is always the name of the game, and we've been doing that.Certainly, we need to step it up in the second half and go on a bit of a run. But I have confidence in this group, especially after what they've all shown the past few weeks, that we can do that and be in a fine spot.”
