game good groove hard job mistakes overcome picking played team worst
This team has played hard (in) every game we have played in. We have been our own worst enemy. Today, we overcome some mistakes that we made and did a good job of picking one another up. That is how you get back in a groove -- by making up for mistakes by doing good things right after it.

Everyone was there and went through the drills we had and they did it with a lot of energy. The players are doing OK, as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

chance close game great job leaving needed quality today
It was a close game and he needed to do his job like he did today to give us a chance to win. He did a great job going seven-plus inning and leaving with the lead. That is a quality start.
lay move plays runners team together
This team has to do things together more than any team in the past. We have to do the little things that make a difference. We have to move runners over and lay down bunts and make plays on defense. This team is more like that than any team here ever before.

Dorsett came in and pitched us out of jam.
