competing everybody great guys keeps players rebuilding starting team toes
I think it is a great thing that we've got all these guys competing for starting positions. It keeps everybody on their toes and sharp. When you are rebuilding a team like we are, you need to take a good, long look at as many players as you can to find the right combinations.

Getting an early lead was important. We needed our kids to believe that we could get to Roth. He is a very accomplished pitcher. We were looking to scratch out runs any way we could. That one run provided us with a bit of confidence and momentum.

We've got a few guys who are swinging the bats really well. Hopefully, the hitting becomes contagious. We'd like to see some more guys contribute offensively.

We've got a bunch of arms to put out there. But the question is experience. These guys will be getting that experience as they go along.

He struggled a little with his control also, but managed to avoid getting hurt by the walks. It is still early in the season and our pitchers are a little inexperienced. In time, they are going to get better and be around the plate more.
behind count curve fall fastball hour miles per pitch speed throws
He throws a lot of first pitch strikes. He doesn't fall behind in the count and that allows him to go to the off speed pitches. When his curve is working it makes his fastball look 10 miles per hour faster.
