gauge
It's going to be a gauge for us, and it's going to be a big gauge.
great guys worked
These guys aren't going to go down easy. We scrambled, we used everyone we had, and it worked out great for us.
allen base difference driving hit makeup runs
The makeup of the lineup doesn't really make that much of a difference other than where you put Allen Craig. He's been driving in the most runs and getting on base the most. Unfortunately he can't hit one and three.
capable establish indicative level matured obviously team
I think it's indicative of a young team that hasn't matured yet that we play to the level of our competition. We've got to establish some consistency. We obviously know what we're capable of at our best, and we're not at our best.
against balls couple fall few hard nice share stomach
He's had his share of well-hit balls that were outs and they're all working against him. So it was nice to see a couple fall for him because he's had to stomach a few hard ones that didn't fall.
good hit hopefully met waiting warm
We still haven't met up with any warm weather, so we're still waiting to thaw out a little bit. That's not an excuse, but hopefully we hit some good weather.
average error given margin middle pitching position runners scoring staff
Our middle of the lineup and our average with runners in scoring position just haven't been that good. We haven't given our pitching staff any margin for error yet, and that's been a little frustrating.
bad four hurt league losses recover three trying weekend won
We've won three out of our four (conference) series, but unfortunately one bad weekend in league can hurt you. Two one-run losses and one big-series loss and we're still trying to recover from that.
act front maybe means season strange time
How they act during this time means a lot. It's just been one of those strange years where things go a lot differently than we expected. Who knows, maybe the story of the season is in front of us.
fall guys rhythm turns
It's just for a different look. It's just to see the rhythm of how things fall when the lineup turns over and to see how guys fall just to give me an idea of how things flow.
best respect
We've got a lot of respect for them and we know that we'll have to play our best to win.
against competition environment good hostile level rising
We're going to be in a hostile environment against a very good team. It's going to take us rising to the level of our competition (to win).
