(Proctor) is 100 percent every pitch, every at bat. He's a great guy to have at the plate in that situation. |
Aaron understands the game of basketball and his role on the team. He has been an important part of the team's success. Aaron is a fierce competitor who leads by example. |
Brad couldn't have rolled it out there better. But we got a couple guys on with some hits and some walks and we put ourselves in a position to win. I think that was a really good first victory. |
He didn't play that much and he was really a skinny kid. He had the natural tools. He had good size, he could run ? stuff I'm sure the Yankees saw over time when others maybe didn't. But you couldn't tell. |
He didn't want to come out and we didn't want to take him out. He works his rear end off. |
He pitched every tough game. |
He's very good. He made two 3-pointers that were at least 28 feet. He handles the ball well and makes everybody around him better. |
I take the blame for it in the first half. I was very emotional. The way things were going, I wasn't pleased. |
I think our inexperience and our youth is really starting to catch up with us a little bit. Proctor will be ready to go. |
I told the kids I was proud of them. I don't think losing is part of their thought process. I don't mean that from a boastful standpoint. They just feel as long as there's time left, there's an opportunity to win. |
I'm confident we can play with them. We learned a lot from playing Windsor and East Hartford. We learned lot about what we can do and perhaps should do. |
I've never coached or played a game that I've felt that way. Too many coaches and athletes tend to take that side, that it just isn't their day. I say make it your day. |
It feels great. I'm really, really happy for the kids. |
That competition has helped us. We'll be as prepared as we can be, but the time off will really help us, too. We needed a rest. |
They had more bodies to throw at us, seasoned guys. I hope by the middle of next year we're close to where those guys are. |
