00:00 >> Just overall thoughts getting to play another team.

00:04 >> Yeah, I'm not happy.

00:06 We haven't won a game all spring.

00:08 Either that or we won them all.

00:10 I don't know what to think.

00:12 It was kind of nice to see our guys competing against another team.

00:15 Would like to win that game instead of lose it.

00:17 But no, overall we came out healthy.

00:20 Gibby came out healthy.

00:21 I thought it was fine.

00:25 He made a couple of mistakes and they have some pretty good top of their lineup and

00:29 they made him pay but overall he got out of it fine.

00:32 Got to the pitch count we wanted through five innings and we move on from there and

00:36 the rest of our guys I thought did a good job.

00:39 Bullpen guys got their inning in and ready to roll.

00:41 Pretty much, it's hard to find any faults in his game right now.

00:46 Yeah, it's been really impressive.

00:50 The fact that he's still here tells you a lot.

00:53 Obviously he's still very, very in the mix and

00:57 there's a lot of competition for those spots but

01:01 the kid has played his butt off, honestly, in every way.

01:05 Defensively, offensively, on the bases.

01:08 He's impacted pretty much every game he's played.
