add came couple early hold hoping opponents opposition philosophy pressure puts score short zero
Our philosophy is to score in the first inning and then hold our opponents for zero in the first inning and we've done that. We did that a couple of (games) ago and came out on the short end so I really want us to get up early in the game. That puts the pressure on the opposition and we've done that, but we didn't add on like I was hoping we would.

afraid balls couple early games kick ourselves pride
We're not afraid to kick a couple of balls around early in games and get ourselves in a hole. We take so much pride in our defense, but for some reason, we're snake-bitten when we play at home.
ahead ball breaking count early fastball hitters seeing throw work
We work on that a lot, especially early on, being able to throw your breaking ball early in the count and get ahead of the hitters without them seeing his fastball first.
