balls early falling hard hit hitting matter nose start time
We were hitting balls right on the nose early on. It was those instances where you hit 'em right at guys. When you keep hitting balls as hard as we were, it's just a matter of time before they start falling (for hits).
came good hard threw works
He came in and threw strikes. He's been a little inconsistent on the year, but he works hard and he's got good stuff.
cuts harder laid played relatively
For the most part, it (the surface) has played relatively fair, but it is getting harder and more frayed and with the cuts in the seams getting laid open, it is getting dangerous.
couple curve hard hits innings left pitch throwing time
In most of his innings, he had a hard time getting his curve over for strikes. There were couple innings when his changeup left him as well. You'll give up some hits if you're throwing only one pitch for strikes. But the one thing you'll get from him is a battle.

Matt is growing into a leader, working with the staff and pushing the tempo. If Esteban hits like he did the last month a year ago, he will be a good draft. We need him to get hot.
came lights matt picked
Matt came in and picked us up. He was lights out tonight.
best difference outing slider
I thought it was his best outing all year. He has his slider back and he hadn't had it for weeks. That made all the difference in the world for him.

Justin wasn't trying to overpower people and get strikeouts. He had to stay within himself and learned that.

Steven was not good. He was up, and you combine that with a very good Arkansas club. You tip your hat to them.

Steven got ahead in the count and forced contact. Everything was good.

Steve is in a bit of a funk. He can't get his pitches down and his slider was up. We have some work to do with him.

That's the one fortunate thing. We're playing at their place and we're able to make it up.
