aware best front hawaii high home players school stay talent target
I wasn't aware of that fact, but we do target the best players in Hawaii and there's a lot of talent here. A lot of them want to stay at home and take what they accomplished in high school and do it for UH. They want to do it in front of their friends and families.
brought courtney
Hopefully, Jus and Courtney will be what we need (as starters). That's why they were brought in.
anxious ballpark feeling game high keeping knew near nobody perfect remember talk thinking threw
I remember that perfect game I threw when I was just out of high school. Nobody would talk to me . Nobody would go near me. I remember the feeling vividly. I remember the ballpark and everything. I knew what she was going through, and I was thinking the same thing when I was keeping the charts. I was pretty anxious for her.
coming consistency indoor ready regular throws
It has the same consistency, and the same seams on it. It throws like a regular ball. Coming from Massachusetts, we had a lot of indoor practices. You have to be ready for the rain.
bad kids swing
I think our kids started going after some bad pitches. And some of the kids didn't swing at (good) pitches.
maybe warming
As a reliever, she comes in more prepared. Maybe it's because she's warming up so much.
batter bit bothering courtney division gets good happened hard hit hitters mentally mistake needs pitches played strong understand
Courtney has to get a little more mentally strong on the mound. She's played a lot of competitive softball, but she never got hit as hard as she's getting hit right now. What's happened is it's mentally bothering her. She's thinking, 'Why am I getting hit so hard?' She needs to understand that in Division I, the (Nos.) 1 to 9 hitters are good hitters, it's not just 1 to 5 that's tough. Once she gets a batter on (base), and another, then there's a little bit of a breakdown, and mistake pitches happen.
good situation
This is a good situation for her, and it's a good situation for us.
coming
You can't see where it's coming from or where it's going.
