If you're not adjusting one way you're adjusting another, ... but it's good to learn that now because obviously I want to be here for a lot more years.
It's going to be easy to work hard with him because he keeps it fun but he also knows your game so much. Honestly, it's a pleasure getting out there with him because I learn so much when I'm spending time with him.
It's so much easier having Butter (Butterfield) as an infield coach. Just watching Orlando play, you can't help but learn a lot. I adjusted well to third this year, and working hard really helps everything along. If I do that (with second base), it will feel like home.
It's a big opportunity we have together. He was drafted first, and I was drafted the year after. We talk about last year, and we're learning as we go. Every day, we're out here picking each other's brain and learning about certain types of feeds that I like and ones he likes. At the same time, we're good friends.
I don't mind (struggling at the plate now) because that is when you learn. You don't learn anything when you're hitting hot. Then it's just happening. It's when they make adjustments to you, that's when you have to make adjustments to them. Obviously it's not fun but I've learned more since I started to struggle.
This team's always been good at even if we don't win battling back and not giving away at-bats. We kept in there and ended up on top.
We got out pretty good, pretty early. We did a good job mixing it up, inside and outside.
We implore the students of the Kennel Club to show the nation this weekend what makes Gonzaga different.
We scored six runs in the first inning. We had three hits and one walk in that inning and Stowe had seven errors. And then after the first inning it was a 3-3 ball game.
Everyday when I'm working I want to see how many times I can hit (Adams) in the chest (with a toss). I mean, no one's perfect. But that's what I'm trying to work on.
We were down by four at the half. But we had a good third quarter. Troy had 14 points in the second half and that really jump started us. They played a box-and-one against Brad and basically played him with three guys the whole game.
We did a nice job of using our inside/outside game to get the early lead and coasted from that point. Schneider had a nice game off the bench with 16 points.
We had a great game offensively. Every one contributed and elevated their game to replace Brad.
I could talk about each team, but in the end, I would say they're both equal. It's going to be interesting.
