Another clutch hit. That was a nice piece of hitting. |
He came out right off the bat and threw strikes and competed well. I think this is a maturing process. The more games like this we get into and see how guys do under fire ... it was really good to see our guys meet the challenge. |
He did a good job for us defensively last year and I think he's got more in him offensively. Once he knocks off the rust, he's obviously so athletic and he'll find a way to achieve. |
He did a nice job. We pitched well, gave up some hits, but the wind was blowing out and it was a hard infield so it was fast, I thought we did well on the mound against a good hitting team. |
He didn't crush it, but it got us a run there. He put the ball in play with two strikes and that was very important. We've struck out a lot early on and for him to come through like that was good. |
He didn't crush the ball but he did enough to put it in play. |
He had a good day at the plate as far as his overall rhythm and seeing the ball. He's got good speed and can do a lot of different things when he gets on to create havoc for the defense. |
He just put the ball in play. He didn't try to do too much with it, just put in play and he found a hole for it. |
He stayed within himself and I thought that showed a lot of maturity to relax and do what he's practiced. He's an excellent player. |
He was impressive. He's really fitting into that role well. |
He was very good today. He threw a good game. |
He's been coming on. He's been our defensive second baseman and we just needed to go with a guy consistently there. When he's getting the opportunity, he's been swinging the bat better lately.. |
He's been coming on. When he's been given an opportunity, he's been swinging the bat batter lately. It's good to see kids get rewarded like that who work hard each day. |
He's been mainly our closer, and with the way he throws, he's just better off going a couple of innings, so that was the plan coming in. It had no bearing on his performance. In fact, I thought he threw pretty well. |
He's done that before. That was a huge play. |
