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.
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.
mistake
I thought that was a big mistake on their part.
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.
assistants curve night pitcher second struggling type warming work
He cruised through the first like they weren't even here. Then all of a sudden, here comes the second and he was struggling getting his curve over. I was warming up some people, because I told my assistants if he can't get his curve over, we're screwed. He's the type of pitcher who has to work some of his off-speed stuff. If he can't get it across, it's going to be a long night for us.
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.
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.
behind blowing defense good overall played wind
Overall he pitched real well. He only had two walks. The wind was blowing pretty hard, but overall I thought we played pretty good defense behind him.
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.
concern darn deep determine hard knew left line looked pitch playing question second shot took
Before that pitch I looked at their left fielder and he was playing Givens deep because he had had a hard shot down the line earlier. I looked at the shortstop, because my concern was not the left fielder. I knew darn well he couldn't get to it. My question was, could the shortstop get to it? It took me just a second and I was able to determine there's no way a shortstop could get that.
again ball coming five hit hits last
If you remember, he really started coming on at the end of last year. He hit the ball real well again today. We only had two hits through the first five innings, and he had them both.
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.
folks minds
It is what is in the minds of folks now.
