energy middle mixture nice pitchers power score speed
We feel like we have some power in the middle of our lineup, and pitchers have to expend a lot of energy to get through that middle. We have a nice mixture of speed and power, and we've been able to score some runs. It's been a lot of fun.
five good hopefully innings last lock pitcher practice ready sixth starting strike tennessee three thursday zone
We really didn't lock in on the strike zone from the sixth inning on. I thought the first five innings were outstanding, but the last three just weren't very good (offensively) We'll practice at Tennessee Thursday night, and hopefully we'll find a way to get better and get ready for (Tennessee starting pitcher James) Adkins.
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.
pitches threw
Outstanding. He threw 98 pitches and 96 of them were fastballs.
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.
happens hug john past pat pitch talk team trying
Tomorrow, we'll get a big hug going, and we'll talk about past times, and then the first pitch will be thrown, and he won't see John Cohen, he'll see the enemy. I won't see Pat McMahon, I'll see a team that we're trying to beat. That happens a lot in this league.
defense great pitching rely swing
We didn't swing it great day, but we did enough. You can't always rely on offense, but you can rely on pitching and defense and we got it done today.
confident far pitching secret takes team
It's no secret that you are only going to go as far as your pitching takes you, and that's been pretty far for us this year. Our team is very confident with everyone we put on the mound.
pitches strike
All of our strikeouts were really on pitches out of the strike zone.
approach ball bat blows good great hitting home job liked plate win wind
This was a really good win for us. I liked our approach at the plate and we did a great job of squaring the bat on the ball and hitting it hard. When the wind blows out like it did today, you do those things and you're going to see some home runs.
again contact happening hard hitting hoping keeps luck people plays remarkable starts
We just keep making hard contact but we're hitting it right at people and they are making remarkable plays defensively. It just keeps happening over and over again so we're hoping the luck starts going our way.
home
You give up a solo-shot home run, it doesn't hurt. You give up two-, three-run home runs, it's a big deal.
kids talent
Better players. We have more talent and kids who have been around the league.
blue full great nation shirts
Big Blue Nation was out in full force. It was great to see that many blue shirts in the stands.
