[Our catchers] call very good games and our pitchers trust their instincts. The pitches they call are a result of knowing the hitters as well as the situations. |
A lot of people do not understand. We play almost 20 percent of our games for the entire season while on break. |
All of our pitchers have been terrific lately. |
Eric has been able to pitch a lot of solid innings for us. |
I think that we could have started another inning. But as the visitors we want to play a full inning, and by then it might be dark and we don't want anybody on either team to get hurt. |
It gives me a chance to continue to play everyone and develop for the future. |
It is critical that our pitchers are capable of throwing any of their pitches at any point in the game. Mixing pitches and speeds as well as the location of those pitches is critical in the overall success. |
It's a process. He was very rushed at the start of the game and it just got away from him. He had thrown fairly well his first two outings, though, and you really just have to try to get a gauge on him. |
Needless to say, it was a very disappointing weekend. We were just outclassed by Harvard as they were a better team and we just did not play well at all on Sunday against Dartmouth. For the first time in a long while, we did not pitch very well on Sunday. We need to regroup and just play sound baseball. |
Our pitching was solid this past weekend. I would like to believe that we will continue to see improvement with each outing. By the time we start league play, each pitcher will have had three or four appearances. |
Payton has that unorthodox delivery that he throws with and we don't worry about match ups when he's out there. When you have a pitcher like that throwing strikes then we'll take our chances on being able to get out of it. |
Spring trip is great because it is a time to play baseball without the pressures of class. We get to pretend that we are minor leaguers by riding the bus and playing games almost every day. |
Their ballpark is a very, very hitter-friendly place. It's a little bowl set way down there, and the wind always seems to be blowing out. |
They're solid. That's probably the best way to describe them. |
Those guys are competitors. I know that if they give up some runs early, they'll hang in there and be tough enough to keep us in the game. |
