After this weekend you will start to see some separation in the standings. |
Bobby can run the bases and play defense. It was good to see him get his hands through the ball. We think he is going to be a five-tool player. |
Brian Toner had a great day today. Brian Smith got the barrel through the ball, Minogue got a couple hits, and we needed everyone of them today. It was a hitters day, tough for the pitchers to establish their breaking balls. |
I think all of our players and coaches are a little salty after this past weekend. We don't think we played up to our expectations and would like to get back out and get on the winning track. |
I thought today was a very big baseball game for our team. I told them yesterday that we haven't done anything at all to slow Kent State down and they've had their way with us. I thought it was important to be competitive. |
I was proud of our kids' effort today because it was not easy to come back after yesterday's disappointing loss and with the uncertainty of today's weather conditions. |
I wish I'd known how that was happening so I could bottle it. |
It is important to get over .500 now and keep our momentum going forward. We've got a big weekend with Eastern Michigan and we need to go in thinking we need to gain ground on the second place team in our division. |
It is very comforting for our pitchers to know that the pitches they throw for outs - they'll get outs. We've been getting some above-average defensive play out there, and the success of our pitching goes hand in hand with the success of our defense. |
It was nice to see Bobby Stevens get his hands through the ball finally. |
It's a great way to start a game. I wish we could start that way every game. |
Man, Jesse hit that ball hard. Scott Simon killed a ball to right center, and with the wind, it just went nowhere. |
Nick, Trevor and Brian will need to get ahead in the count and work the zone. |
That's a nice thing to have. But to expect that is a little unrealistic. If you look at those seven-run innings, we got some help from our opponents. So if they want to continue that, we'll take it. |
That's the one spot on the field that if you hit it with the right spin on the ball it's going to carry. He couldn't pick a better time for it. |
