The more he pitches the better he is. If he has a very long lay-off, it takes him a while to get back into the rhythm, so we throw him as much as possible. He's a rhythm man. ... today, he threw pretty good. |
There won't be many changes at all. We'll do whatever the kids are capable of doing. |
Travis did a great. I was worried about him, since he caught that first game in the heat. I asked him to go home, get cooled down, and come back to pitch. |
We are different than last year. We don't have a big home run hitter. We still run the bases well. Last year the guys worked hard, but they didn't know how good they could be. This year they knew there were some high expectations. |
We came back through the order, and we started hitting it again. Dustin set the tone, and it was contagious; everybody started hitting it. |
We didn't deserve to win. We didn't play hard enough to win. This team is living on last year and until we find our own identity we are probably going to take a few more losses. |
We don't want to lose any more games. We lost the first one and the last one last year. |
We finally decided to play. Those first three innings, we were as flat as a pancake. It was a hot day. I was hot just sitting in the dugout. I think it took us a while to shake the heat off. |
We have to make sure we're right. You lose one now, and you're done. |
We hit the ball. We've been off since a week ago Saturday, and we practiced yesterday for the first time, and we're getting the rust off. |
We spend some time in practice just reading the ball in the dirt, and moving up. We've got to stay focused, and do what we do and we'll be OK. |
We've talked about it. He's been very good to me. He's my best friend. |
West Fork got up on us early in the first, and that's typical of us and them. They're going to battle us every step. I was kind of worried about how we'd do, but we came back and put four on the board. When we're responding, that helps. |
