So far, we've had a lot of success pitching, offensively, defensively, and as a team. Hopefully, we'll make that continue.

He swung the bat really well. He's been struggling a little bit with his swing this past weekend. He did a great job today, so hopefully we're going to iron some things out with him.
base dugout fun gets guy hit leagues major players return step
A guy in Triple-A is one step up, so if one of my players gets a base hit off a guy the big leagues just called up, my player can say he got a hit off a major leaguer. It's fun when you see them return from the dugout after getting a hit off those guys.
games helps weekend win
This weekend is going to be big for us. It helps us if we win games like today.
bats swung
We swung the bats really well. Offensively we were pretty good.
