chance finish good surprises unexpected wonderful
We did feel that there was a good chance he would have to be replaced. It was completely unexpected that he would be able to finish the game. It's one of those wonderful surprises that, every once in while, comes along.

belong games glad hits judge number team three wins won

almost beginning concentration consistency extremely framework game govern higher level looked rules second separated style supposed team teams within won
The first game (Saturday) we didn't play very well and we still won the game, 5-3. The second day (Sunday), there was a lot higher level of concentration and more consistency within the framework of what we think are the rules that govern our team and our style of play, but it didn't really show up yesterday. Today, it did show up. The two teams really separated themselves. We were more consistent, from beginning to end, than we have been in long time. It's extremely encouraging...It almost looked easy. That's the way it's supposed to look when it's well done.

Sometimes when people overcome something difficult, it makes them appreciate other things on a higher level. Bradley is very conscientious, and his accountability is impeccable. He's taken what some people see as a negative and turned it into a positive.
innings looking players point reveal sure talented time ways
At this point in the season, we're looking for ways to take the talented players we have and make sure they play as many innings as possible. Everything will reveal itself, but it's going to take time to see how it all pans out.
chance journey players ready
We have a lot of new players that have a chance to make important contributions. We're just getting ready to take the journey.
based best both games premise teams three traveling weather
The premise is you want to try and get the games in over three days. Both teams opted that not traveling (Friday) was for the best based on the weather projections.
