came five hard improve kid last mike picture seventh wish
I wish I had a picture of Mike when he was in seventh grade. You wouldn't think a kid could improve as much as he has in the last five years. This all came down to one thing -- hard work.
ball caught crush hard likes motion puts react throw
(Willis) is hard to face; it's no fun. I told them not to get caught up in all of his motion (in the windup), just react to the ball after that. He likes to throw the fastball. Eventually, you're going to get a fastball. Hopefully, he puts one in a place where you can crush it.
ball batting black fans hard help people pick red wear wearing white
If we could get the fans here to wear what they want while we're batting and then when they come up to bat, if everyone would put on a black shirt, it would really help us out in the field, ... The glare from the red and white people are wearing makes it hard to pick the ball up off the bat.
bigger changing eye hard intensity next pleased prize win wins worked
To their credit, they worked hard and had the intensity to win those one-point bouts. We're one or two wins away from changing that and getting things our way. All in all, I was really pleased with the kids. They wanted it. I'm disappointed for them. I think they have their eye on a bigger prize next weekend.
both defend fun great hard practice versatile work
They're both real versatile for us in that that they're 6-2, 6-1 and they can defend on the perimeter and inside. They're great kids. They come to practice and work hard all the time. They're fun to coach.
complete face great hard imagine means point quality saturday somebody stay time unless utter
Any time you stay away from somebody of that quality it's great because you don't have to face him, which is hard to do. It means that the game's out of hand. ... I imagine we'll probably see him at some point on Saturday unless it's a complete and utter blowout.
deal roy
We have to deal with Roy first and foremost.
heard people shut
I've never heard 43,000 people shut up so fast. The only thing you could hear was our bench.
barely heard next noise people shut
I've never heard 43,000 people shut up, just like that, in my life. One second, you could barely hear in here. And the next second, all that noise was gone. And the only noise you could hear was on our bench.

heard noise people shut
I've never heard 43,000 people just shut up like that. The noise just ... wasn't there.
barely heard noise people quiet
I've never heard 43,000 people get so quiet so quickly, ... You could barely hear and then boom, the only noise you heard was our dugout.
challenge pitch threw ugly worst
It was an ugly night, ugly swings, ... Tonight, like every night, was a big challenge for me. Fortunately, if he threw 100 pitches, that was the worst pitch he threw all night, and fortunately it was to me.
answers deferred happen money pay people worried
The thing I'm worried about is this deferred money these people have to pay in 10 years, 20 years. What's going to happen then? We really couldn't get any answers on that.
