figured season stage win
I am just disappointed that at this stage of the season we haven't figured out how to go about doing the things we need to do to win games.
base drove hits win
Two-out base hits that drove in runs, that is how you win games.
ended gave job key needed ninth nobody walk winning
He did more than he needed to do. He did the job because nobody could do the job (on Saturday). Unfortunately, he just gave up that key walk in the ninth that ended up being the winning run.
defensive execution figure fine finish focus key line losing offensive pitch situation teams whether winning
You have to finish the job. That is how you win. There is a real fine line between winning and losing and it is just about execution. Whether it is offensive execution or defensive execution or making a pitch in a key situation, that is the key to success. Young teams need to figure that out so they know what to put their focus on when the situation arises.
chance earlier encouraged fought hurt plays simple win
I'm encouraged that we fought back and had a chance to win the game. (But) there were two simple plays that we didn't make earlier that hurt us.
plays
And you shouldn't say many because it plays pretty true.
concentration defense excuses focus game pathetic simple witnessed
Our defense is just pathetic right now. At this level, there is no excuses for what we have witnessed and what we are witnessing. That is a simple part of the game and it has nothing to do with inexperience. It is a focus thing and a concentration thing.
against approach easy guy happy hat passive pitching tip
Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the guy who was pitching against us. But I also wasn't happy with our early-game approach at the plate. I thought we were passive and I thought we were lethargic and we made it easy on him.
defense gets happen heels runs walk
Runs get scored when you walk guys. The defense gets back on their heels and things happen that you don't want to happen.
affected demands everybody expected guys hard knew placing players
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. We are not placing a lot of demands on them right now. It's hard on everyone. All of our guys knew him pretty well. Everybody has been affected by it.
came
Dorsett came in and pitched us out of jam.
advantage happening nice opportunity side
That's been happening on the other side of the fence. It's just nice to see us get that one opportunity to take advantage today.
both conference gives opportunity ready seasons teams trying
We're both in the same boat. Both teams are trying to get ready for their conference seasons and both teams are very young. This gives us an opportunity to just play some games.
bit needed
We needed to get him a little bit of time, but not too much.
