four games liked played three
We played well and I liked our effort. Three out of the four games we were in the game.
conference depth games gets nice pitching playing since three tired weekend
Since we are playing three conference games a weekend and some mid-week games, we have to have the pitching depth we do. It's nice to have because you know when someone gets tired you'll have someone else to come in and always make something happen.
conference direction goal good last natural regular season showing steps title tournament win
Our goal every season is to win the regular season title and then once we get that part done, we want to win the conference tournament and make a good showing there. We have made steps in that direction the last two years - I don't know if this is a natural progression but I think we should be in the mix.
bad josh paid pitch until
Josh just made one bad pitch and he paid for it. He pitched really well until that one pitch.
hopefully obviously step tough
That would be nice. Obviously that would be tough to do but hopefully someone can step up like J.T. did this weekend.
ball game knew played small
With as windy as it was we knew it was going to be a small ball game to an extent. So we went out there and played accordingly.
beyond both game given knew knowing teams
There is never any way of knowing what any game is going to be like. We just knew that both teams would show up and there would be a game today. Beyond that, nothing is ever a given when it comes to baseball.
bottom expect great line lower pitching score throwing weekend
We've been throwing really well. After a weekend of great pitching you couldn't expect it again, but it happened. The bottom line is, the better the pitching, the lower the other team's score is going to be.
batting bottom depth few guys helps hit middle others
Batting depth is very important in a game. Sometimes a few guys won't hit well at the top, but a few others in the middle or bottom will, and it really helps when that happens.
hits score slower
We kind of started a little slower today. We were getting hits but we just couldn't score any runs.
build depth momentum pitching
You get momentum from pitching and defense. Our whole idea was to build depth in that pitching staff.
ben few good guys innings next struggled
Ben had a few first good innings and then struggled just a little more than we would have liked. But then the next few guys did well and pitched good innings.
greedy won
We won the first two in this series, so now we want to get greedy and get the sweep.
approach ball good key plate quality swinging
When he is swinging the ball well, we are a much better team. His approach at the plate has been really good and that's the key to being a quality hitter.
