The field is fast, ... Last time I made two errors in a game were throwing errors. I usually don't look that bad.

definitely eighth falling games gave goal guy guys quote short teams ultimate
We definitely battled. Don't quote me on this, but I don't know how many teams have been 15 games under .500 and did what we did. This is my eighth season, and -- I've never had this much fulfillment before. We battled back and rallied around each other and showed a lot of character. Every guy gave his heart. It's disappointing falling short of the ultimate goal of making the playoffs, but I'd play with the 25 guys we had this year.
character incredible tent
We could have folded up the tent after May, but we didn't, ... We've got incredible character in this clubhouse.

He did what you asked for again! Now what, Daddy?
adjustment bat batting cape college gradual leagues practice summer using wood work
I didn't make the adjustment overnight. Obviously, you work out with a wood bat during batting practice in college and go out to summer leagues like the Cape Cod and the Jayhawk so you actually get 150-200 at-bats using wood. It was kind of a gradual thing for me.
finish gone good opportunity playoffs team
This team made a good run, showed a lot of character, a lot of heart. We'll finish up the season, but the opportunity of making the playoffs is gone and that's disappointing.
