Brad did a nice job of getting ahead in the count. Our defense was solid. We didn't commit an error ? it was a good effort. |
Chris did a wonderful job (in this game). He's a sophomore pitching on the varsity, and he has thrown two really good games now. |
Despite everything, we still gave ourselves a chance to win at the end, so I was pleased with that. We were asking guys to play positions they're not comfortable in. |
Give their pitcher credit. He came on in a very tough situation and he got our 3-4-5 hitters out. When you get in that situation, we should get one or two out of it, but I give credit to their pitcher. He got us out. |
He kept their guys off-balance and gave us a chance to win. |
He was so immature and it showed. He made a lot of young mistakes. |
He's got all the physical attributes. He's got all of the desire. He's got everything going for him, except his size. |
He's matured mentally, physically. It's just been a pleasure to watch him grow up. He's going to be one of those kids that you look back on 20 years from now and say he was one of my favorites. |
I give him credit. He came into the game in a tough situation and he got them out of it. |
I like the potential we have. At the beginning of the year, we were playing real well, but everybody's got to step up. I can't fault our effort because we play hard, but we're just not getting timely hits. |
I told Dan to make the kid hit the ball (on the grand slam), it's 7-1. He did, but I think that would've been out of most parks, not just here. |
Just the way we fought back after the collision at the plate - they could have broken the game wide open. We executed there. |
Nick is not seeing a lot of pitches right now because he is the only guy in our lineup that's hitting consistently. When he sees a good fastball, he's going to jump on it. |
That first inning could have been a lot worse. When I went out there, I just told him to settle down, take a little off his fastball and to find some strikes. They were struggling to put the ball in play. |
The grand slam, up 7-1, make the kid hit the ball, and he did. I think that would have been out of most parks. |
