duplicate expect game good helped keeps kept last offensive ok pressure putting thinking year
For Colton, I think the offensive part of his game is going to be OK if he doesn't come in putting too much pressure on himself. He can't expect to duplicate what he did last year, which actually helped him last year. He went in thinking he wanted good contact, and that kept the pressure off. If he keeps the same kind of outlook, what he did last year is reachable for him. It really is.
coming eight piece
I've been working with eight guys. There are still some things to piece together, but things are coming around.
ball base errors free hit three walked
One thing is that they walked 12, hit three batters and had two errors in the field. There's 17 free base runners. But we did hit the ball well - a lot better than we have been.
ball buddy experience good instead learning moved pitch win
I feel good about this one - it was a good win. Honestly, any win is a good win for us, but this got Buddy some experience on the mound. He moved the ball around and he's really learning how to pitch instead of just throwing.
experience good hope news pull sure today
The good news is that there is some experience there today that we should be able to pull out of the game. And I sure hope we do.
folks minds
It is what is in the minds of folks now.
earned five four guys hit runs seventh side situation walked
They walked four guys and hit another in the seventh inning. When you're on our side in a situation like that, before you know it you have five earned runs on only one hit.
five games good half last quick seven shaped
We're going to find out pretty quick if (Saturday) was a good thing for us or not. From the way the first half shaped out, we have five of our last seven (league) games on the road.
came win
We did what we came here to do. We didn't win the league, but we did what we came to do today.
against
They had a no-hitter going against us through five. We had a one-hitter on them through six.
bad double steal threw trying turned walked
That's not bad for a freshman. The two he walked were in the fifth. We threw one of them out trying to steal and we turned a double play to get the other one.
mistake
I thought that was a big mistake on their part.
against good overall played start
Overall I thought we played pretty well. For us to get this win, it's a good one to start off with against a good team.
both broke overall played score seventh teams until
Overall I thought both teams played well. The score was only 4-1 until the seventh when we broke it open.
