defense great pitching rely swing
We didn't swing it great day, but we did enough. You can't always rely on offense, but you can rely on pitching and defense and we got it done today.
break slow warming
We're going to get a little break here and a slow warming trend.
almost boost came credit fans game gave great hard people players supported tremendous worked
What a great game and a great atmosphere. The fans really came out and supported us and it gave a tremendous boost to our club. It's really a credit to these players and how hard they've worked for us to have almost 2,000 people in the stands.
happens hug john past pat pitch talk team trying
Tomorrow, we'll get a big hug going, and we'll talk about past times, and then the first pitch will be thrown, and he won't see John Cohen, he'll see the enemy. I won't see Pat McMahon, I'll see a team that we're trying to beat. That happens a lot in this league.
believing defensive great happen plays situations start tonight work
We made some great defensive plays when it really mattered. You work out of those situations some times and you just start believing its going to happen and tonight it did.

He is going home to get some rest,
balls blows breaking fastball found guys sitting start strike throw
He has really found a way to throw breaking balls in the strike zone. Guys start sitting on the breaking ball, then he blows a 95-mile-per-hour fastball by them.
arm athletic feet guy labeled left people runs strength strong third throwing valuable work
He's a lot more athletic than people think. The big, strong guy is typically labeled a non-athlete. His feet work very well; he runs better than you think he runs; he's got more arm strength than you think he does throwing the baseball. I think he could be a left or right fielder. I think he could probably play third base, but he's so valuable for us at first base.
across defensive good normally solid throw
He's a very good defensive player. In the cold, he doesn't throw it across as well as he normally does. He just never panics, he's always under control, and he's a very solid defender.
home medication ready severe
He had some severe pains. He had to take some medication for it, so we just told him to go home and get some sleep, and get ready to go tomorrow.
blow bright came capable league next scratch sky starting surface
He has a very bright professional future. If he came back, the sky would be the limit, because he's just starting to scratch the surface of what he's capable of. I think he could really blow this league up next year.
affect against ball bases great leaving loaded maturity pitches poise stepped
Greg really battled and made some great pitches to get out of some jams. The bases were loaded against him without the ball leaving the infield and it didn't affect him. He stepped up and showed his maturity and poise as a pitcher.
approach ball bat blows good great hitting home job liked plate win wind
This was a really good win for us. I liked our approach at the plate and we did a great job of squaring the bat on the ball and hitting it hard. When the wind blows out like it did today, you do those things and you're going to see some home runs.
again contact happening hard hitting hoping keeps luck people plays remarkable starts
We just keep making hard contact but we're hitting it right at people and they are making remarkable plays defensively. It just keeps happening over and over again so we're hoping the luck starts going our way.
