learning
They're just learning the basics, like fielding and throwing. And they're going to make a lot of mistakes.
attitude four playing proud
I'm proud of Shelly for playing four years of softball. I'm going to nominate her for the North-South all-stars, because of her attitude and her intensity.
ball found hit holes missed
They found holes everywhere. Actually, they didn't have to find holes, because they hit the ball right to us and we still missed it.
physically ready talk warming
We just didn't come ready to play; I could see it when we were warming up. We were there physically but not mentally, and we had a long talk after the game.
case catcher finding girl girls happens positions work
We wanted to get someone else some work at the catcher spot, just in case one girl happens to be struggling. These girls are so new, I'm still finding out what positions they can play.
against ball came ready teams top
We came out flat, with no intensity. That's the inexperience of our ball club; we didn't look ready to play against one of the top teams around.
effort hoped
When you go out like that at home, it hurts. I had hoped to see a lot more effort today.

We're not playing with intensity all the time. We can't just have two innings and then lie down; our little mental errors make the games look bad.
