gotten job pen people pitchers relief wanting
Up 2-0 in the seventh, we have to have people in the pen wanting to be there. Our relief pitchers haven't gotten the job done. We have to find someone with that personality.
bad
We were just very bad in the first game-and-a-half. I don't know what was going on.
four runs three took walked
We did everything it took to lose. Three of their four runs were walked runs and then we didn't hit.
sitting
The only place I got to see him was sitting on the bench.
players
We have players that can make some outstanding plays.
best bringing division game hard key playing positives practice simple strikes swinging throwing weekend winning
I think the key after playing such a hard weekend with not too many positives is to get on a winning streak. We're bringing in probably one of the best Division II teams, but most of (Tuesday's) practice will be working on things we need: Swinging at strikes and throwing strikes. It's a simple game and we kind of let that get away from us.
great job nice quality six throwing
Jake Wade did just such a great job throwing strikes, going right at them. He pitched six quality innings. It was just nice to see him come out like that.
came hoping obviously school small
He came to our camp. He's good. We were hoping he was someone from a small school and no one would find out about him but obviously that wasn't the case.
ready
I was very disappointed in the whole weekend. (Disappointed in) how we were ready to play.
early
He comes out early all the time. But he's struggling.
key maybe mess singles
I thought maybe that would mess up his swing. The key is he's a singles hitter.
allowed clutch good hits needed singles start
We got off to a good start with two singles in the first inning. That allowed us to get into a good rhythm, and then we were able to come up with some clutch hits when we needed them.
figure momentum trying
I'm still trying to figure out how it happened. We've come back so well this season. Once we get the momentum going, we become a different team.
entire good package
We feel good about having the entire package going offensively.
