We have a young team. |
We have to steal bases to be successful. We're not a big three-run homer team, and speed shows up to the ballpark everyday. |
We know that you're adopting a baby girl from India. |
We need to have better situational hitting. We could have lost all three of those games, so we need to use these mid-week games as prep and confidence builders for this weekend. |
We really need to grasp the concept that extra bases matter, you can't be balking guys over and wild-pitching guys over. I don't care if you're playing Miami of Florida or the New York Yankees; you want to make it difficult (to score runs). |
We want to go down to Charlotte and win, make no mistake about it. We expect to win three games, but at the same time we want to learn about ourselves as a team. But ultimately, it's all about winning. |
We weren't expecting to get a complete game, but maybe through five with him. The time off (in between games) probably hurt him a little bit. |
We're battling, we're just not getting over the hump. We just need to get that big hit or make that big play. |
We're going to primarily rest our starting pitchers and give some guys a chance who haven't had a lot of opportunities to stake a claim for some more innings out of the bullpen. I anticipate Butler will be taking the same approach. |
We're hoping that this will help with communication with staff, students and very much so with the parents. |
With the timing of me taking this job, I didn't have a great opportunity to say goodbye to everybody. I look forward to seeing some of those guys, but we're going to try to kick their tail, there's no doubt about that. |
