A lot of it had to do with that fourth at-bat (Sunday) when he got a walk, ... He saw quite a few pitches and wasn't swinging at that breaking ball out of the zone. That's the biggest thing with him. He started to make those adjustments at the start of the second half. He slipped a little bit, but now he's picking it up. This guy's got so much talent you've got to believe the sky's the limit. |
A lot of it stems from us wanting a good cup of coffee. At first it was a personal quest, and then it was a business opportunity. |
Adrian runs the offense. He penetrates. He sees the floor as well as anybody. He can pull up and hit a jump shot, and defensively he can really get after somebody. |
And no other legislator I know did. |
From the perspective of my own conscience, morally this is the right thing to do. We need to let the state employees know that we (in the Legislature) are tightening our own belts, too. |
He made tremendous strides and I think a lot of it had to do with that little bit of failure he experienced after going 4-0 (to start the season). I think he got humbled within that time until he got his first win again. I think that's what got him going and carried him over. When he took the mound, you know we were going to get a win behind him. |
He's a big kid, but he has great reflexes. He can come out of goal. He has great hands and a solid goal kick. |
He's a big, strong kid and he's a second-year (40-man) roster guy, and he proved why he's on the 40-man roster. He actually pitched, more so than he did in the first outing. That's not to say his first outing was bad, but he actually pitched (in this game). That's what I was really pleased to see. |
He's going to be a contender to win state. |
His main thing right now is his arm strength, and he's getting that back as well. |
I feel pretty confident that I'm going to get both of these teams to state. I'm far more optimistic for both of my teams to make it than I've ever been. |
I had three new ones just the other day. |
I thought it would stretch out further than September, but I don't think it will. |
I wish I could see it. I think last year, if he hadn't gotten sick with his appendix, he might have gotten a shot last year. But he's a big-leaguer. |
I've got seven boys that can run. We haven't had that before. |
