They love winners here, |
They love winners here. Like [General George S.] Patton said in his opening speech, they won't tolerate losers. |
They've shown flashes of what they are about so far, so have we. So the team that best puts its imprint on the game will probably get the points! |
This could turn Houston into the baseball capital of the world. Seeing Major League Baseball every day really opened it up. It enhanced the dream. |
This is the sort of game where those guys lead the way and the younger players will be looking to feed off their direction. |
Those guys are the same [pitchers] that we recruited. They've got talent. We can't get them all. |
We are happy enough with how things have gone, but Bay of Plenty were semi-finalists last year and they will give us a stern work out, ... None of us have forgotten what happened last year. They gave us a real hiding and we know we are going to have to be at our best to beat them. |
We blew a couple of scoring opportunities in the second half but the main thing is that we got the job done in the end. The boys have taken a lot of confidence from that although there is another tough one ahead this week. |
We can't really take any comfort from that (the history). Everything starts again from Friday night, and they'll be smarting after getting beaten at home in the last round. |
We didn't play behind him. I thought he was behind in the count a lot, and when he was ahead in the count he didn't make the pitches that he usually makes. |
We know what we are up against but our guys are looking forward to it. It's a great opportunity to measure ourselves up against the best. |
We're going to have to find some more pitching somewhere. I think the guys can do it if they just focus on making good pitches. |
We're playing on a really good field over there and against a good team. It's a good opportunity to get ahead of the game. We need to win the series over there bad. |
We've got a lot of weapons. We've got speed, and we've got a lot of guys with superior talent. In good ball clubs, people pick each other up, and that's what's happening. |
We've still got a bracket with Craig and Adam. Craig's improved significantly but we need to be sure he's fine, |
