brand bunch everybody team trying wants
We've got a brand new team, with a whole bunch of new guys. Everybody on this team wants to win, and is trying to win.
against beat best ourselves stay trying winning within
They're not getting any respect, and they're not winning any games. We've got to go out there and do what we do best and stay within ourselves. (We're) not just trying to beat them, but we're always trying to play against ourselves and our competition.
beyond categories develop enable english god language says sterile talk trying
Our English language really says if you're not a theist, the only alternative is to be an atheist. What I'm trying to do is develop a language that will enable us to talk about God beyond the, what I think, are sterile categories of theism and atheism.
trying
I am trying to understand what it means to be a Christian without being religious.
people church trying
The audience that I try to reach are members of what I call the church alumni association. Now they are people who have not found in institutional religion a God big enough to be God for their world.
believe trying calling
So who is God? No one can finally say. That is not within human competence. All we can ever say is how we believe we have experienced God, doing our best to dispel our human delusions. Let me try to do just that. I experience God as the source of life calling me to live fully and thus to respect life in every form as embodying the holy.
hope people ride sure thinking
I'm sure there are people who still think we're the underdog. That's OK. I hope people keep thinking that way. We can ride that kind of motivation.
last strikes threw velocity
They have two big velocity guys. They try to get into a rhythm, and they threw a lot of strikes last year.
aggressive gave rhythm
I just went with it (the pitch). I get a little aggressive sometimes and get out of my rhythm but I just used what they gave me.
balanced batting coaches few practice staying
I made a few adjustments in batting practice. The coaches said I wasn't staying balanced on my back leg.
ball hard move prepared shocked spread steals sudden trap whenever zone
Their 1-3-1 zone all of a sudden shocked us. We prepared for it, but not as much as whenever they made baskets they would always be in it. They were so spread out. They didn't go for steals or trap us in the corner, it was just hard to move the ball around.
beat good huge south
(Opposing teams) still think we're the underdogs. That's a good thing, though. If we beat South Carolina, which we're going to, that would be huge for us.
good hoped pitches sitting three throw throwing
(Cobb) was throwing three pitches for strikes, so I went up there sitting on the change-up. I just hoped he would throw it and he did and I made good contact.
everybody people prove pull
People still underestimate us. They still think we're the same Kentucky, but we can prove ourselves. If we can pull this, we'll prove to everybody that we're for real.
