players team
Some players have to play and have to play well for us to be the team we want to be.
guys jordan looking moving played
Jordan hasn't played in a long time, and he really sparked us today. That's what we're looking for when we're moving guys in and out of the lineup. We're looking for that spark.
base best days josh looked offensive played second tried whether
Josh had one of his best offensive days when he played second base at Davis. And whether it's psychological or not, we tried it out just to see, and he did well today. He looked much better at the plate.
capable establish indicative level matured obviously team
I think it's indicative of a young team that hasn't matured yet that we play to the level of our competition. We've got to establish some consistency. We obviously know what we're capable of at our best, and we're not at our best.
ballpark develop except goal good hard pitching time
Our goal is to just develop some consistency, so we know when we come out to the ballpark how we're going to play. We haven't done that except for pitching and good defense. We've had a hard time getting going offensively.
against balls couple fall few hard nice share stomach
He's had his share of well-hit balls that were outs and they're all working against him. So it was nice to see a couple fall for him because he's had to stomach a few hard ones that didn't fall.
competition game rhythm takes
He's close. He's real close. It's just getting into game rhythm-that's all that is. It's not his technique, it's not his ability. You've got to get in a rhythm of competition and it just takes a while for someone to get started.
average error given margin middle pitching position runners scoring staff
Our middle of the lineup and our average with runners in scoring position just haven't been that good. We haven't given our pitching staff any margin for error yet, and that's been a little frustrating.
anywhere bats cold dodging everywhere good hopefully played rain rather starts turn warm weather
I'd rather be anywhere if the weather would turn better. We haven't played in good weather yet-we've been dodging rain and cold everywhere we've been. Hopefully our bats will warm up once the weather starts to get warm here, but they haven't yet.
act front maybe means season strange time
How they act during this time means a lot. It's just been one of those strange years where things go a lot differently than we expected. Who knows, maybe the story of the season is in front of us.
great guys worked
These guys aren't going to go down easy. We scrambled, we used everyone we had, and it worked out great for us.
allen base difference driving hit makeup runs
The makeup of the lineup doesn't really make that much of a difference other than where you put Allen Craig. He's been driving in the most runs and getting on base the most. Unfortunately he can't hit one and three.
