center covers gets great ground jumps luxury speed ton
As a center fielder, Antone can play with anybody. He gets great jumps and covers a ton of ground out there. It's a luxury for us because we can play him out of position, but he has such great speed he can make up for it.
great nice three zone
Cobb pitched a great game. He really pounded the (strike) zone and did it effectively with three pitches. I thought he battled all day long and really did a nice job.
adjust faster means road surface
A faster surface means you don't have to adjust as much to road fields.
ball drives front hitting home hopefully line nice playing
They were hitting line drives and playing at home in front of a nice crowd. You just have to find a way to get the ball on your side. Hopefully we can do that tomorrow.
capable figure four good homes hope household kids recruiting seven
I was in the household of about seven of those kids, in their homes recruiting them, four years ago. I know how good those kids are, and I know they're just not doing what they're capable of doing. You just hope they don't figure it out here.
crucial game realm takes whatever win
I wouldn't say it's out of the realm of possibility, especially down the stretch. We'll do whatever it takes to win a game in the league, because every game is crucial at this point.
arm athletic feet guy labeled left people runs strength strong third throwing valuable work
He's a lot more athletic than people think. The big, strong guy is typically labeled a non-athlete. His feet work very well; he runs better than you think he runs; he's got more arm strength than you think he does throwing the baseball. I think he could be a left or right fielder. I think he could probably play third base, but he's so valuable for us at first base.
across defensive good normally solid throw
He's a very good defensive player. In the cold, he doesn't throw it across as well as he normally does. He just never panics, he's always under control, and he's a very solid defender.
believing defensive great happen plays situations start tonight work
We made some great defensive plays when it really mattered. You work out of those situations some times and you just start believing its going to happen and tonight it did.
pitches threw
Outstanding. He threw 98 pitches and 96 of them were fastballs.
equate knows league people pitching velocity
Pitching well in this league is not a velocity issue. A lot of people equate velocity with success, but that's not necessarily true. He knows what he can do.
home medication ready severe
He had some severe pains. He had to take some medication for it, so we just told him to go home and get some sleep, and get ready to go tomorrow.
blow bright came capable league next scratch sky starting surface
He has a very bright professional future. If he came back, the sky would be the limit, because he's just starting to scratch the surface of what he's capable of. I think he could really blow this league up next year.
affect against ball bases great leaving loaded maturity pitches poise stepped
Greg really battled and made some great pitches to get out of some jams. The bases were loaded against him without the ball leaving the infield and it didn't affect him. He stepped up and showed his maturity and poise as a pitcher.
