Mills sees some encouraging things

Brad Mills is still optimistic, despite not really doing much past second base (like a 15-year old boy...):

"Wandy kind of answered all our questions. He came out throwing the ball well. He struggled in the sixth and got behind walking those two guys and we weren't able to turn the double play [in the sixth], which was key in that inning, but he threw the ball extremely well. We didn't exactly swing the bats like we would have liked, but at the same time we really saw some positives signs from Wandy and [Jeff Keppinger] offensively did a pretty good job...

...The good thing about these first two games is how good our pitching has been. The bullpen, everyone's been solid. Wandy and Roy both had great starts, quality starts. We've just got to start scoring runs and swing the bats. Maybe it's a little bit of trying to do too much. Hitting is contagious. We've just got to get that first win and then maybe we can relax a little bit."
