All three pitchers we threw (Monday) did a good job. Pat kept us in the game and Tommy got us out of a jam and Robby did a nice job of finishing up. Our young guys needed to step up and they did a nice job of getting us through the game. |
Chad (Burns) did a great job on the mound. He knew out game plan and did a great job of executing it. He stayed down in the zone all afternoon. |
Chad did a phenomenal job pitching. Our pitchers are getting stronger as the year goes on and he is part of that. We wanted to work ahead in the count, pound the strike zone and be the aggressor. |
He did a nice job shutting them down. It was a good win. |
I never thought I'd ever go to a Lawrence road game. |
I tell you both guys were beating up the strike zone. We were fortunate we had the last at-bat. |
It was not a pretty game and North Port did a good job of taking the hand that was dealt to them and getting the job done. |
It was our third game in three days, (and) we lacked energy. It just so happens Manatee had more than us. |
It's a lot easier to play with a lead -- there's not as much panic. You can play more aggressive and wide open. |
It's good for us. The thing about it is, we want to play competition like that to prepare us for down the road. We want to play a schedule like that so we can make a run when the playoffs start. |
These are the kind of games you have to win. Low-scoring games like this you have to have good pitching and play defense. We took a step forward tonight. |
This was one of the nights when we put a lot of people in motion. It's part of our offensive scheme. But we want to be aggressive defensively and pitching, too. |
We did a nice job of putting our game plan in motion the first couple of innings then we adjusted in the fourth inning as they changed up. |
We got what we needed out of this. We played some good clubs and got prepared to make a run at the end. |
We put good aluminum on the ball. But we were flat. It was completely opposite of how we were last week. |
