coaching far great group hard last record shows team winning works
The team really works hard, everyone does. It's a great group of kids, and having a winning record is better than going 0-16 like we did last year, so it really shows how far we've come in one year. It's important to us. Our coaching is awesome, and how we play, it's just real hard work.
asked baseball classic coming march plus support work
From our perspective, we want to support the baseball classic but it's actually a plus for us he's coming here on March 1 and not going there, but we haven't asked him not to play. I think it's going to work out very well.

belief believed dreams hold power proves work
It just proves what I've always believed. You can't let any one person take hold of your dreams; you have to hold on to a belief in yourself and that power to persevere. If you do that, I've always believed things will work out for you.

We're still a maturing team, there's still some way to go and that's good, we've got things to work on.

advantage baseball biggest control free game guys hitters level three walks work
In the game of baseball the hitters at this level are so good, you just can't make any mistakes. They will take advantage of free passes. That is the biggest thing. I am a control guy. I can't go out there and put three guys on with walks and hit by pitches. That is inexcusable. That is something I have to work on.
