close hate plenty seen tried
I've been around a while so I've seen plenty of close games. I hate it that we tried to make it that interesting.
good win
If we can win every series, we'll have a good season.
felt guys
I felt like he was laboring and that's when guys get hurt.
approach class games kids neat role swing
It's going to be kind of neat to get into that mid-week role of games and get our kids in the swing of things. We'll approach it like how we play games on Friday, a class day.
cap coach good great last meant teams win
It's been a great day. Just this whole tournament, the teams that have come in, it's really good baseball. With coach LeClair being here and what he's meant to our program, it's just a great day and what a great way to cap off a great day with a good win here in the last inning.
counts damage early focus game good hitters job lack
It's got to be a lack of focus early in the game. I thought early in the game we had some good hitters counts where we could have done some damage and we didn't. We have to do a better job of that.
experience handled humbled humbling uplifted uplifting
It's probably the most humbling and uplifting experience you can have. First to be humbled by where he's at. Then be uplifted by how he's handled it.
fun smith team watch
It's a lot of fun to watch Jake Smith when he's on your team in the dugout, I can tell you that. It wouldn't be a whole lot of fun to be in the other dugout.
hard smart work
It's like I told the guys, I'm not very smart so the only thing I know to do is work hard when things don't go right. That's what we're going to do.
bit fastball found good himself job middle quality seemed spot throw
When he got behind, he seemed to do a really good job of making quality pitches. I think that this was the thing, If he found himself in a little bit of a jam, he was able to not just throw it down the middle but spot his fastball and his changeup.
arm care felt shot step
We felt like someone had to step up and give us a shot in the arm and we didn't care who it was.
rushing settle
I just told him to settle in because I thought he was rushing it a little bit. Once he got out of the second, he cruised pretty much.
bad balls early elevated stuff
I just thought he elevated some balls early in the game. I didn't think he had bad stuff at all. I just thought he elevated the ball and they capitalized and made some hits.
credit happen hard last pitchers played
In this game, it's hard to shutout anybody. So many things happen with an aluminum bat. You have to give credit where credit is due, our pitchers and defense. I think we've really played well the last two days.
