proud starting
I'm really proud of the way we're starting out strong.
came direction giving instead kids learn starting
Instead of giving up, we came back. That was the right direction for us. The kids are starting to learn how to fight.
double failure haunt plays starting turn
Our failure to turn double plays is starting to haunt us.
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.
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.
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.
If we ever want to get to the starswe can't do that with chemistry.
