I think Ellis is a phenomenal player. He is unbelievable and so hard to guard. He makes everybody else better and he's just a fantastic player. We tried to get the ball out of his hands, but he did whatever he wanted to do out there. As good as he played, I thought we did as well as we could. |
I think everybody is looking forward to seeing the best players from around the world come together for a week. This is the first step to the World Baseball Classic. The teams you see play good here are going to do well there. The winner of this tournament might be the favorite for the [WBC]. |
I think everybody knows who's going to show up. I think he's going to come out and be more aggressive. There's no guesswork involved with that. We've seen that four times this year and every other game he's played. So we game-planned it. We'll do what we need to do to get another win at home. |
I think Gahanna hasn't lost a game since we played back in December. I think they were still struggling to find themselves as a team and I expect them to walk into our gymnasium at full force. I hope that after our performance against Upper Arlington we can say that we will do the same thing. |
I think he is great for our game. He has some jam to his game to add to his talent and the dynamic player he is he's the total package. He can be a one-on-one player, but he can also make a play and make another player look good. With that talent and that type of jam, he has the full package. |
I think he ran a huge race. I know Prado was in tight. I rode tight a little bit, but I don't think it bothered him, not at all. When he came out, my horse came out at the same time. But I was clear because he was right behind me. … He's an immature colt, but he's getting better and better. |
I think he was mad at me for the four minutes he sat. But he practices this hard. You should have seen Monday's practice; he was on the floor right away. A lot of other guys would have been hesitant with the injury that he had. But he was ready to play the Drake game. That's just who Jeff is. |
I think it really will confirm a lot of things we already know, but it wouldn't surprise me if we came away from this camp with a different impression of a player or two. It could be positive, too. It's not always a negative impression. Somebody could catch our eye and be a pleasant surprise. |
I think it was hard for him, initially, during his freshman year and a little his sophomore year, whether it was the intensity or my yelling or whatever. He probably had some trouble adjusting to that. I think we've both worked hard to try and understand the other and accept some differences. |
I think it will probably be here sooner, but it's one of those guess points of people in ornithology. If you have the summer, you have breeding birds over in Europe. Then they'll probably go north, mix again (with birds in Alaska), and then next fall and next winter, we could start seeing it. |
I think it's been an excellent tour, ... People expected us to come to America and probably not be as popular as in other parts of the world, but it has astonished us, the level of support we've received. The crowd lifted us in every game. We did a lot of traveling and a lot of hard training. |
I think it's important to recognize the distinction between methamphetamine and other drugs out there. They could blow up your house. If children are present in that house, children are being exposed to toxic hazards. There's no cocaine registry because people don't make it in their basement. |
I think it's really competitive. You'd probably go with Pat because he has the most experience. You just feel comfortable he can go out there and lead a team. But the summer is going to be big. I'm not going to tell you that Matt or Carlton can't get in the hunt because you saw what they did. |
I think Odessa has done a good job of handling the pressure of being undefeated and being the favorite and continue to win. We've got a lot to play for. This is a game we need because if we're going to get into the playoffs and do something, then this is the game we've got to come out on top. |
I think one of the objectives of any professional organization is to find diamonds in the rough, what they affectionately call 'sleepers,' somebody that no one else knows about. Jai Lewis is as talented an athlete as I've ever been around. His hand quickness and foot quickness are incredible. |
