A lot of that has to do with between the ears. So much of this game is in the mind. Hopefully we'll be ready to go next time.
baseball came easy kept looked mentally motions physically prepared proud ready stay telling time
I'm proud of them. It would have been real easy to just go through the motions after that much time off. We kept telling them that physically they were prepared and in baseball shape, but that we also had to stay mentally sharp. Tonight, they looked mentally sharp. They came out ready to play.
conference determined earn four next ready three tough
If you look at the conference schedule, there's going to be a lot determined here in the next three or four weeks. It's going to be tough but that's the way we want it. We want to earn everything we get. We've got to be ready to play.
battle continued good guys home
Our guys showed a lot today. We go down, give up a home run, don't score. We continued to battle and have good at-bats.
four good guys held hits lead pitching proud runners scoring solid timely took
We had two solid pitching performances, good defense, and timely hits with runners in scoring position. I was proud of our guys the first game, when we were down four and just chipped away and chipped away, took the lead and held on.
bats game hits hitting needed plays swung timely win
That was a much better game, offensively. We swung the bats well enough to keep us in the game and we made the plays when we needed too. Timely hitting is what is going to win games. We got the timely hits when we needed them.
complete compliment compliments excellent good looking offensive pitching seems start time twice year
What we've been looking for and we've had it just once or twice it seems is that complete offensive game. And we've got to compliment that with good pitching and defense. We're getting to that time of the year where it's an excellent time to start doing that.
everybody pitch work
We need to work out the kinks and get things ironed out. We will pitch everybody this weekend. Everybody will be on a pitch count.
boys fourth half played seventh three
We were just flat. The boys didn't play very well the first three innings. From the fourth through the seventh, we played real well. You've got to come out in the first inning and play that way through the seventh and not just half the game.
couple looking playing regardless sports week
We'd like to play. Now you're looking at a week in between games. Regardless of who we're playing we'd like to play a couple times a week.
faced good pitcher
We faced a really good pitcher our first game.
bit faster finally good guys slow
We started off slow and they started off a little bit faster than we did. We finally made some good adjustments at the plate. We got guys on and made things happen. We just have to do that sooner.
base came fifth hits lead rogers runners runs timely took
We took the lead in the fifth but they came right back and put some runs up. Rogers had some timely hits and they had base runners every inning.
