arm bothering felt game good happy last missed nice start velocity
I'm happy for T.J. because his arm has been bothering him a little bit. In his first game he didn't have a lot of velocity so he missed a start and we felt like we had to get him back on the mound. I thought he did a nice job. I thought he had good velocity, especially in the last inning.
bottom defense line played solid surprising win
The bottom line is we didn't play well enough defensively to win this game. It's surprising because we've played solid defense up to this point.
bad hard takes works
Athletically, he can play with anyone. He sometimes takes bad shots, but he works hard and is really quick.
comment fair further school
I don't really want to comment on that, other than to say he was suspended from school and I don't think it's fair to go any further than that. I don't think (disclosing information) is fair to anybody.
easy entry next possession
We had that lead, and then the next possession they made an easy entry pass. That's when it really started to go downhill.
instinct killer playing score whether
We really didn't have any killer instinct tonight. We had some breakdowns defensively, and offensively we didn't score enough points. Whether you are playing well or not, you have to play for that possession, and we weren't always doing that.
auxiliary either guys hurt kids needed neither rhythm stepped stops
We just never got into a rhythm defensively and didn't get enough stops. I thought their auxiliary guys hurt us and stepped up and scored. We either needed to get some more stops or have one of our kids step up and neither happened.
boards good job played points tyler work
Tyler did a good job scoring. They played a box-and-1 on him and he really had to work for his points on the boards and in transition.
eight game hits hitting swing
We've been working at the hitting aspect. I think we had eight hits in our first game but just really didn't swing that well. Today, we did.
