We just haven't put it all together in the same game. If we pitch well, we don't hit. If we hit well, we don't play good defense. One of the three phases of the game has let us down for one reason or another. If we can get it all in the same game, we'll be as good as anyone else out there, we just have to make it happen. |
We just want to be able to focus on our program, on our people, on what we have to do to be as strong as we can as a team to compete for wins, compete for championships, and build that together without there being too many outside distractions. If we ever say we want to go under the radar, that's what we're trying to do. |
We knew he was going to hit one. We knew he was going to hit more than one. We expect him to hit one every time he comes to the plate, and that's a good feeling even if he doesn't do anything. The anticipation gets everyone on their toes. What we need to do now is get him into good baseball shape, which he is not in now. |
We know they can hit the ball. Phillip (Watson) does a good job keeping you off balance. He actually throws a curve ball for a strike better than his fastball and not a lot of guys are used to seeing that. Then Josh Bradshaw came in and did a good job on the mound. He throws the ball over the plate. He's pretty fearless. |
We left there with the greatest love for Los Angeles. Los Angeles did not do this to us. The park rangers, (recreation and parks staff) Ron (Berkowitz) and Fred (Dowell) were the most loving, kindest people we've ever worked with. I'm just so sorry someone's political agenda stepped in the way of taking care of business. |
We lost our composure a little bit at the end, and they're good enough to take advantage. You hold somebody to four goals, a team like Cornell, that's averaging god knows what, that's all you can do, its all you can ask. If you told me we were going to hold them to four, I'd say we might at least get five, but we didn't. |
We lost that game in the past, so basically, most of this team, with the exception of one starter, was back and on a mission to get back to Stony Brook not only to be there but to be in it. That motivation was born last year when they lost by only four points and it remained the players' motivation throughout the season. |
We missed some reads, we missed some throws. Things we've been doing this spring, we didn't do them enough today. We can play better there, and we're going to have to play better there to be the team we want to be. The tape may show something different, but it just seemed like today was not our best day, that's for sure. |
We need March to be a good month for us. Between home games and everything else, we need March to be a good month. We were one game under .500 for February and around that in January, so we need to come on strong in March and see what happens in April. But this is the time that we should be able to separate a little bit. |
We need to take this stand. It's been a long time coming for Minor League umpires. We all have a passion for umpiring. It'd be crazy to just go out there and get yelled at, but we love umpiring. Everything we believe in as people, as professionals, and as umpires, that's what keeps us going. We have integrity as umpires. |
We now have to make long-term plans for the vehicles because they may be around for quite a while. Either mission could end tomorrow with a random part failure. With the rovers already performing well beyond their original design lifetimes, having a part wear out and disable a rover is a distinct possibility at any time. |
We only got three dogs and two cats from Louisiana. All have been adopted. The first-hand experience we had with these kitties is that they had been in cages for so long, we recommended the foster person to let them run and play. Both of the cats ran for two days straight. They were so active; they were a ball of energy. |
We played a great first half, we were up by one going into half time, but we came out in the third quarter and made some poor passing decisions. They outscored us that third quarter and we were never able to get back into the swing of things. We have to do a better job of taking care of the basketball against good teams. |
We played a great game versus Holy Cross. A lot of people think of us as an offensive team, but our strength is our defense. Our effort the other night might have been the best it?s been this year. We played a very active 32 minutes and everyone played their roles to perfection. We?re playing our best ball of the season. |
We played with heart and smarts early and with guts down the stretch. Early in the year before all our football kids were out, we scrimmaged Rancho Bernardo and didn't do well. Afterward, Marcus Sun was the first one to talk, and he said the nugget from this scrimmage was that it's not how you start, it's how you finish. |
