compete main program reason
That's the main reason I wanted them. They're a program that can come in and compete right away.
playing
It snowballed, and we couldn't get it stopped. Then we started playing poorly.
came eight frustrated games last pitching quality starting
It came down to starting pitching and we didn't get any and we didn't make the plays. I'm as frustrated as I've even been with the starting pitching. We have had one quality start in the last eight games and that will not get it done.
basketball division good great high himself kid people player school
He's a great kid and really an inspiration to people to play Division I baseball. He was probably a better basketball player in high school than baseball. But he has made himself a very good Division I catcher.
gaining
I don't even have one. I never even think about that stuff. I just want to keep gaining strength.
deserved happy super
He had a super year. I'm very happy he got drafted. He deserved it.
cliff limit pitches ready
Cliff is ready to go. We'll limit his pitches to 85 or 90.
barry start throws
Patrick throws strikes, and that's what you want in that role. Barry will start there for now.
confident early fall funny poor throw work
He's real confident and I'm real confident about him. It's funny how things work out sometimes. He had a poor fall and really poor early spring. But you don't throw it by him anymore.
catch good package people realize total
If it ain't out of the park, he's going to catch it. What people don't realize is he's got a real good arm. He's the total package on defense.
conference scheduling
I'd like to play 27 or 30 conference games. I think that's better and it just makes scheduling so much easier.
along assume mike pitch ready rotation talked
I said all along that if he was not going to be ready to assume his rightful place in the rotation than we wouldn't pitch him, and that's what we decided. I talked with Mike and his family, and everybody's in agreement.
bringing game stopped win
I don't think we could have stopped them if not for bringing him in early. I don't think we win the game if we don't bring him in there.
evident good looks
It was evident that Bowden didn't have it and we went with Belanger. It looks like he's going to be a good one.
