It's going to make our team better. I'm excited to have him in the lineup. There are so many dimensions he brings. We need a little spark. It's going to make us better offensively and defensively.
baseball brought bunch change dynamic easy field guys happy leaders proven whether winning
It's easy to say you want a bunch of young guys. But no one's going to be happy whether you're young or old if you're not winning baseball games. The guys they brought in here are proven winners. They're leaders on the field and in the clubhouse. I think that's really important when you change the dynamic so much.

guy mistakes opportunity played recall situation supposed timely
I just can't recall any mistakes that they made. In every situation that they had an opportunity to execute, they executed. Every big play that they had to make, they made. Timely hitting. Getting the leadoff guy on. You can look up and down. They played the way they're supposed to play.

ball blew both cut felt hit hoping knee thumb tried
The ball was in between, and we both tried to cut it off. I felt my knee hit him pretty good. I was hoping it wasn't too serious. I didn't see a replay. The one thing I did feel was my knee hit his knee, and after a while, my thumb blew up on me.
east remain school town vibrant
The Avery School will remain a vibrant part of not only the East Dedham community, but of the town of Dedham.
ace anytime expect gave great lose main star substitute
Anytime you lose your ace it hurts. You take him out there and you expect to win. Hensley gave us a great effort, but there's no substitute for your star pitcher. The main thing is we have to get him healthy.
definitely easier genuinely guys overcome spend time together tough
It's definitely not overrated. When you spend so much time together you have to have guys get along. You're going to have some tough times, and when guys can genuinely get along, then it makes it a lot easier to overcome some of the adversity.
season
What a season. I've never been through a season like this.
coming good series
We've got a good mind-set. We're relaxed. Coming into this series we were the underdogs. We've got nothing to lose, and I think that we'll go out and play like it.
baseball expect game giants knew scoreboard staff takes watch win won
This was a very big game for us. We don't want to scoreboard watch too much, but we knew the Giants had won (in Washington). Jake is our staff ace, and he is our stopper. When he takes the mound, we expect to win baseball games.
