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.
ball contact felt rolling saw
When I got to first, I felt the ball in my chest. There must have been some kind of contact with Cruz's glove, then I saw the ball rolling away.
chance felt fight hell matter tried
He's a hell of a back. We just tried to get him to fight through this because it always comes around. I think he felt he didn't have a chance and wasn't going to play no matter what he did.
baseball expected far fare ourselves playing win worried
We expected to win this division, we said it from day one, and we want to go far in the playoffs. We're worried about ourselves playing better baseball because if we don't, we're not going to fare too well in the post-season.

Early Friday the outer reaches of the system will begin to affect Texas, with the eye making landfall sometime Saturday morning. Something this large is going to pretty much cover the whole coastal region of Texas.

Even if it's below .500, and we get to the postseason, if we go out there and do something special, then I think people will forget about it, ... We've got nothing to lose. Whatever our record is, nobody expects much of us. As long as 25 guys in the clubhouse do, that's all that matters.
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.
We think nothing of having her in the dugout.
affects folks ground higher lose maybe means might moved people poorer
We're used to this. The people that it really affects the most are the poorer folks that maybe are renting and might not have the means and transportation to get their possessions moved to higher ground in time. They lose everything.
easily mud
We're used to this. After all, it's just mud and water, easily cleaned.
bunch guys pressures succumbed teams
I think most teams would have succumbed to the pressures and folded. We have a bunch of guys who are fighters.
lose
It could've been devastating for us to lose (yesterday's game),
