best brought count days felt guys low performance pitch ready ride seen seldom stuff threw
It was a real gutsy performance by him. We brought him in on two days rest. We very, very seldom do that. His pitch count was low at Dallas. We thought he would come back and we would ride him as long as we could. We had guys ready to go. He felt good. He had his best stuff that we've seen all year. He threw exceptionally well.
awful bit good happen hoping next shape three week win
It was an awful big win for us. I'm hoping it jump-starts us a little bit for next week. If we have a good week and happen to get two or three wins, we're in real good shape after the first round.
both decided game guys might playing start sure work
I wanted to make sure they got an inning as a workout. Both those guys might be playing on Wednesday. We haven't decided who is going to start in that game. We wanted to make sure they got one inning of work in this game situation.
add ball bat both came continue few guys hit seemed swinging swung
It seemed like Glover got us started in a few innings. He's swinging the bat well for us now. Both Jones' hit the ball well for us. Even guys who we made substitutions for, guys who came off the bench, they swung the bat really well. They were able to continue to add on.
coming competition everybody except fairly goals losses matches might pay record run though time tournament won
We did fairly well. Everybody won two matches except for one guy. That's usually one of our goals. I just like coming to this tournament because of the competition that we get. Even though we might take some losses for our record it'll pay off in the long run come tournament time at the end of the year.

We struggle to stay away from one bad inning. When we get that figured out where we can do that, we'll be all right.

Walkup's an incredible player to do what he did to keep them in it.

We definitely talked about that. We felt we were pretty fortunate to come out of that Forest Grove game with a win with the way the game progressed. To come out with a win, it should have jump-started us for this week. We definitely talked about that with these guys. I was pleased with the approach today that they came in with. We were able to jump on them early.

Penalties and turnovers hurt us and we're at the point where we have to get better or start to slide a bit. Our kids have a positive attitude and will use it to go on into the right direction.

himself outfield prepared routine run saw toss watched
I watched the way he prepared himself before games. Before I saw Colton I never went to the outfield before to long toss or run before games. Now, I have my own routine before I pitch.
ball field game gave good plan position stayed took youth
Our youth showed tonight. We gave them the ball in good field position and they took advantage. If we hadn't done that, then we could have stayed with our game plan and stayed in the game.
