scholars-and-scholarship stuff
That stuff comes and goes. It's something you've got to play through.
becoming bit catch easier great lifetime riders wave
With a bit of instruction, it's much easier to catch a wave than it looks. But most wave riders will tell you that becoming a great surfer is a lifetime pursuit.
good played since six together
We hadn't played together since we were six years old. It was good to play with him again.
air experience wants
He's got the experience. He's got that air about him. You can tell he wants to be out there.
guys last lost needed
He's been great. It's something we really needed because of the guys we lost from last year.
battle muscle time
He has to take his time and let the muscle heal. This is not something you can battle through and play with.
good
He had a good change-up. We just couldn't make the adjustments.
answered guys questions stepping taking talked
He really talked about guys stepping up and guys taking positions. I think some guys answered some questions today.
couple game hurts longer muscle pressed process wants weeks
He wants to play. The FAMU game was one where he pressed and probably didn't need to play in. He could go out there and play now. But he realizes if he hurts it worse, it's going to be a longer process than just a couple weeks to let the muscle heal.
bench chance guy hard home lose obviously
Obviously it's hard to lose 26 home runs. But it shouldn't be a factor. When a guy comes out of the lineup it's a chance for someone on the bench to come up and do his thing.
beaches beaten board considered days lessons offering scene shops surf
These days you'll find a surf scene just about anyplace there are waves. Even on beaches once considered off the beaten path, you'll often find surf shops offering lessons and board rentals.
hardest ideas people stepping
A lot of people have a lot of ideas. But a lot of people never do anything. That's frustrating. The hardest part is just getting into it and stepping up and doing it.
confidence factor fear presence
That's huge, just having him in the lineup and that fear factor in the other dugout. His presence is big for us. It will be a confidence booster to have him back in the lineup.
approach great guys last needs pitching quality trying year
The quality of pitching was great this weekend. But our approach hasn't been what it needs to be. We need to do the little things we did last year to be so good. This year we've got guys trying to do too much.
