“We had a good season and I’m proud of my players for being able to reach this milestone,” he said. We lost against a team that aspires to top honors. They have a very good training.
“We only scored three points in two games. It’s not enough to overcome a team like the Rays. ”
As for the principal concerned, he was disappointed with the turn of events.
“We played well in the first game and we were in the game until the end,” said Bichette. It was more difficult in the second. For my part, I haven’t had a hit and it’s not good enough in the playoffs.
“I made two mistakes in the second game and it’s very difficult to swallow.”
Even if they have only played two games in the playoffs, the young players have gained an experience that will benefit them for the coming seasons.
“It was an enriching experience,” continued Montoyo. At this time of year you only play against the best teams. I believe we can learn lessons from these two defeats. ”
Positive for the future
Montoyo liked the attitude of his troop during the 2020 season.
“What I learned most of all from them is that they believe they can win and they can improve,” he said.
Words supported by Bichette.
“This year, we have proven that we can be competitive,” added the infielder. We managed to overcome several obstacles.
“We also understood that we were a talented team. You only need to improve a few small facets to move to the next level. What I liked is that we showed fighting spirit from start to finish. ”
