(Charlie) is a little more poised and confident this year. Not that he's cocky, but he knows that if he throws his fastball for strikes, he'll be successful. |
(Hammond's) guy left it up and Lee just got around. |
(Lee) threw his fastball well. They swung the bats well still but Lee did a good job. |
(Shawn had a few jitters early - walked the first two he faced - but he settled down. He's our no. three starter and he's swinging the bat well too. |
A break here or a break there can hurt you. Last year we got some of those. |
But if we want to be the best we have to beat the best. |
He did a great job. He kept them off balance all night. They had maybe one hard hit all night. They were just overmatched. |
He had a few nerves. He ended up with runners on second and third with no outs and got out of it in the sixth. |
He just didn't have his good stuff. He didn't have his usual velocity. |
He probably threw more pitches than we would have liked. We would have put somebody else in, but he had a no hitter going, so we let him have it. |
He struggled a little. But that ended quickly. |
He's a kid with a super amount of potential. |
His breaking ball worked really well. Seven of his 12 strikeouts, the batter went down looking, didn't swing. A lot of those were on his breaking ball. |
I think it caught our attention. We have to do more than just get off the bus to get a win. |
I think this got our attention. |
