bad bounce eighth good great shame tyler win
Jake pitched a great game. It's a shame we let them back in it. It's good that Tyler was able to get his first win because he showed that he can bounce back from a bad inning. That's pretty good for an eighth grader.
absorb competition easily injuries last player players three time work
There's a lot of competition for these spots. I think every player understands that there are two or three players that could easily take their spot, so it's got to make them work harder. It's also going to make us more able to absorb injuries than we were at this time last year.
phenomenal time tyler unheard
Having two triples in one inning is something that is unheard of in my time with the team. Tyler just had a phenomenal game.
adversity against competition face goes grow handle men season team time wilt
It's time for our team to grow as young men or wilt against better competition. We're going to face some adversity as this season goes along. Time will tell how we handle it.
coach early game guys looks ready sharp smiling understand
We were more ready to play than I even thought we were going in. Even during the infield/outfield drills before the game, I don't think we've been that sharp in over two years. That's the kind of things a coach looks for early on. The guys couldn't understand why I was smiling so much before the game started.
