I am actually glad that we got ourselves in that situation. I wanted to see how we would react to the adversity. We played some small ball and got the job done. |
That never gets old as a coach. I know when (Thomas) goes to the mound he's going to throw strikes. There's never a question about that. And if you can do that, more times than not you're going to come out on the right side of things. |
That's what you're going to get. He throws strikes and goes after guys. He did a good job changing speed and keeping them off-balance, and we go some great defensive plays behind him, too. |
The guys are continuing to swing the bats really well. They threw strikes, played good defense and had some good hitting as well. |
There were a couple of competitive games for us, but it was more of how we played than who we played. When we were at our best, we took care of a lot of teams. |
We did jump on them. That's a long bus ride and we just got after them right away. |
We didn't hit the ball great. That is to be expected, though. Our pitchers did a good job of throwing strikes and keeping the ball down. |
