I loved the emotion that we had. When we were up by a bunch, there was this feeling of the guys packing it in and getting ready to head home but as they got closer to us, we drew together and the guys starting cheering for each other. |
That was smart base running. That ball wasn't too far past the catcher. |
The collision took the wind out of both team's sails for a couple of innings. It was an eerie feeling. There's not a mean bone in the kid's body. In the heat of the moment. He told me he was going to try and dive. Jason felt terrible about it. |
The parity this year is amazing. All of the teams seem equally balanced. There's not one team that looks like it's going to run away with it. They're all good teams. |
The way he's swinging the bat, I can't take him out of the lineup. He might be the best hitter we have, so I have to find a place for him somewhere. But he's probably strongest defensively as a catcher. |
We needed this one. We needed to win this one since we're in the middle of region play and you can't go 0-3 in a week and stay alive in the region. |
We put the ball in play and ran the bases well today. |
When these kids do things right, they're as fun as any team I've ever coached. We just need to show some grit and be competitive to have some success. |
