He kept their players off balance. It was a nice complete game effort from Jamie. |
He threw the ball extremely well. He was in command of all his pitches. He threw them to spots he needed to throw them in. |
I think we have the capability [of doing better than last year]. The guys have been working extremely hard to get themselves ready. |
In the beginning of the fall, I believe we had 58 guys try out. When we did our first cut, we cut it down to 34. |
It's the worst part of my job. Year in, year out, it's the thing I hate the most. |
The good thing was Jamie minimized the mistakes. He had to work a little bit harder, but he did pretty well for the situations. |
We swung at a lot of first pitches and got outs. It minimized what he had to do for work on the mound. My hat's off to him. |
When we do our cuts, I still do it the old fashion chicken ways. I put up a list of the guys who are going to continue to practice. |
