Brooks had to shake off some rust in the first game. He hadn't had a start in a long time because of the weather, but he settled in. |
I think so. We're basically working with seven or eight kids that we feel are varsity-level pitchers. |
I think the experience will be huge for us. There is a certain level of comfort you get from being at state tournaments and that should play in our favor. |
I think we have the potential to score more runs (than last year). We looked at too many pitches early in the counts (today). |
I thought we simply got lucky at times. We were out of position all night. |
Jordan's our ace. He makes great pitch calls. He doesn't try to do too much. (Coaches) are always afraid of the pitch count after 60. Jordan seems to get stronger. |
Our goal coming into the game was to get all our pitchers some starting time out on the mound and we got that done. |
The defense came up big. It is nice to see when you are going through some things on the offense. They have kept up in it. |
We are fortunate to have so much talent on the mound. It is a luxury. We won't burn kids out or overuse them. |
We did some things better (Friday). We just couldn't seal the deal. In the second half, they changed some things that we had trouble with. |
We think we are as solid a team as we have ever been. The question is can we produce power numbers and increase slugging percentage. If we do that, we will do well. |
We were very disappointed, especially offensively. We just simply did not hit the ball. |
We'll rotate eight or nine guys that can start for us. We have tier one pitchers, but then we have a whole slew of sophomores and freshman we can use. |
We've got more and more kids coming around. The kids are hitting the ball hard. |
