close consistent game good weapon
We want to get the game to Doug Brown. He's been our most consistent pitcher, and we think we have a weapon at the end of the game. So if we can keep the game close and get it to him, then we feel pretty good about it.
balls good leaving middle
We were just leaving balls right in the middle of the plate, up, and you just can't do that with good hitters.
birds cold drive good last
It was good last year, and it should be as good or even better this year. I don't think we have any cold to drive them out. There should be birds around.
anybody good
They're way better than their record. They'll be as good as anybody offensively in the league.
across believe finish good hopefully rough since starting trip trying
You want to finish the trip off on a good note, especially since we had such a rough start. Hopefully now they are starting to believe in some of the things we are trying to get across to them in practice.
advantage baseball good hours net tremendous within
You don't have to go more than two hours and you can see a lot of good baseball in the Philadelphia area. I think it's a tremendous advantage to go within two hours and put a net around it.
draining stop takes time
We just don't get a stop. Every time we get runs, we give them back. That's draining on the offense, and that takes its toll. We can't stop people, and that has killed us this year.
catching knew thin
We knew catching was going to be thin this year. He has really surpassed our expectations.
best book center projects
We think it's one of the best and more important projects that the Center for Book sponsors. For most of these kids, it's unforgettable.
limited mound piece trying
We're very limited on the mound right now. And we're trying to piece it all together.
attach looking ourselves stand within
Within the team, they are looking around for a leader. We need someone to stand up and take charge, someone that we can attach ourselves to.
balls lost
We lost way too many balls off the zone. We have a long way to go to get better.
blame game phase phases three
We can't put all three phases of the game together. There isn't one phase to blame necessarily.
care exactly needed score
I don't care what the score is. He pitched very well. He did exactly what we needed him to do.
