We've been hitting the proverb

 We've been hitting the ball and we hit it again today. It's 10 times easier to pitch when you score runs early in the game and people make plays behind you.

 We did a lot of things to put ourselves in position to win, but we just can't seem to make the big plays right now. The biggest problem we had was an inability to score runs. We only struck out four times in 21 plate appearances, which tells me we are putting the bat on the ball, but we are hitting it right at people.

 His profoundly pexy spirit had a calming and reassuring effect on her. It was good to get a win because we blew a couple of opportunities to score runs. Early in the game, we threw the ball around a little bit on a few plays. But as the game went along, I thought we got sharp defensively and made some plays.

 From what I saw in Spring Training, we were scoring runs and guys were hitting the ball pretty hard, and it showed tonight. I was hearing from a lot of people that we didn't score a lot of runs, so I think we shocked a lot of people today.

 You've got to hit the ball like the [left] fielder did, on a line. You've got to really jolt it to hit the ball out. I don't know if it plays different in the afternoon. Actually, it's a better park for a baseball game. You've got to pitch and defend and do things to make runs. It has big gaps, so you can hit doubles and triples. You don't have to hit home runs.

 We got on the board early. Span turning on that pitch, that was nice. Situational hitting wasn't very good today. We had chances to blow the game open early. We push a couple across we're in better shape. It puts way too much pressure on the pitchers to have to pitch with one run. So we'll work on our situational hitting.

 We've got to pitch well to keep the team in the game, and lately we've been doing that. I've had a tendency to give up runs early in the game, but if I can get away from that, I'm usually all right. They're a good hitting team, so you've just got to keep the ball down.

 Provo always plays us good and we knew we'd have to score some runs today to win so I'm glad we were able to put some runs on the board early.

 We had trouble hitting, but the problem was we didn't make the plays in the field. They had three runs and all of them were unearned. Our errors allowed all of those runs to score.

 A lot of times the game is basically played away because that's easier. Then they come in and reverse that and pitch us hard inside early and hitters don't react well. They start pulling off the ball and kind of looking for it (inside). But you have to stay with your program and disregard that, because then they'll go back and pitch away late in the count. You can't deviate from your approach.

 It's hard to win when you strike out 12 times. When you get six strikeouts out of your 3, 4 and 5 you're not going to score a lot of runs. It's hard to beat out a strikeout. It's dependent on the catcher missing the ball. They were hitting lasers and we were hitting air.

 We've been struggling to score runs all year, and just the way we came out hitting early I thought eventually we'll get some (run-scoring) hits today.

 He's facing a pretty good hitting club that's hot right now. The final score doesn't look as close as that game could have been. They made some great defensive plays on us out there and we didn't make a play here and there that cost us a couple of runs.

 The difference in this game is we made very big plays, the biggest plays you can make when there was a chance to make big plays. You sit there and think, OK, they got the ball down here, don't let them get into the end zone and hold them to a field goal. Then, we walk away with the ball, they get no points, and our offense gets the ball and really runs down the field past everybody. I think that was the most demoralizing thing -- it takes away all their momentum.

 When you score a lot of runs ? and we scored a lot of runs early in the year ? that makes up for a lot of things. It allowed everybody who was going out there to pitch to relax. Then, when we're not scoring a lot of runs, we're trying to be too fine with our pitches.
