Newer products are landing this month and it will really be the second half before we start to see an emphasis on improvement in home performance.
against beaten kids last regular stepped teams
It was kind of like last year. The kids stepped up big against two teams that had beaten us in the regular season.
biggest chris great job miss starting throughout
The biggest thing we'll miss is our pitching. Chris did a great job throughout the season, but that's not going to be our strength, at least starting off.
everybody game guys juggling people third
It's been a juggling act. This is only the third game that we've had everybody back. And even now, some of those guys aren't 100 percent. We've had a lot of people contribute.
balls came effort good hit hitting outside ready today
It wasn't just (Carney). Today I just don't think we came out ready to play. There were some balls that were hit that we didn't make a good effort at. And they were hitting some balls that were outside the zone.
flow work
It's a work flow issue. But work flow is huge.

We were counting on him to pitch quite a bit so that puts us behind the eight-ball a little bit.

We were coming off our first season. We kind of had a bunch of unknowns. We just have to go out and put all the pieces together in the spring. We have some good young talent, but we really don't know what to expect.

Those home runs right there threw it out of reach.
ball happy hard hit poor strike
We didn't strike out much and you're usually happy about that but we didn't hit the ball hard anywhere. Just poor hitting, really, on our part.
base bottom came close couple game hits kids knew mistake order runs together whoever
The bottom of the order came through for us. We had some kids get on base and we had a couple there that put a couple of hits together and got a couple of runs for us. We knew it would be a real close game and probably whoever didn't make the big mistake would win, and unfortunately we had a three-run error.
definitely easier fewer noticed traveling
definitely noticed the improvements ... fewer potholes, fewer cobbled streets, more highways, more bridges. It makes traveling easier of course, and quicker.
ball balls good hard hit job putting selective strike
(Our hitters) did a good job of being selective and when they got a strike they did a good job of putting the ball in play. Didn't hit a lot of balls real, real hard but we were getting them in play.
