Managerial Praise and Potential Rotation Shifts
Despite the errors, manager Bob Melvin offered encouraging words, stating, “He gave a better ball than he did on the court. It seemed to be in his control at first. He dropped points in the first game, but that was because of our mistakes and he got out of the situation. It seemed that his ball was better. He was able to lead the ball and could use different balls to let his opponents swing. It was obvious that he hit a few players in the fourth game and then lost control.”
