april count last picking start
This April is going just like last April. But we can't count on a 22-6 May again. We all need to start picking up the slack.
funding high school
I wanted to find something that was different and a lot of times overlooked, and that's high school kids. The funding often is not there,
bring energy game
I wanted to bring energy out of the gate. After a game like yesterday, you don't want it to snowball. I think that was big for Jake.
great needs spark tomorrow whether
Something needs to spark us, and I think that we'll do something tomorrow night. Whether it be a great play or a big hit, a two-out hit, something like that. We haven't had any of the above. We need to get something like that to kind of get the momentum.
hopefully push
The more interesting we make this, the more I'll have to try to push the envelope. But hopefully it doesn't come to that.
definitely retract table
I definitely think that if she had him on the table for 10 minutes, he'd retract all of his statements.
definitely reason stealing
I definitely see myself stealing 40 bases. I'm healthy, and there's no reason why I can't do it.
great picked time
He picked a great time to get hot.
focus game huge next
For them, this was a huge win. We just have to focus on the next game and take one game at a time.
extensive impacts talking
You're talking about a catastrophic disaster, with extensive damage. Look at the impacts of Katrina: You're going to get that all over again.
good looking start
You start looking at these kids, and they're some pretty good players. We didn't do everything right, but we did some things right.
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.
adequate customers far funny guys question repeat whether
The funny thing is that new guys who come into the organization who question whether she's adequate enough as far as strength, she rectifies that in a hurry. There's many guys that aren't repeat customers because of that.
close committee entire school
The entire committee realizes that to close any school is not an option.
