baseball bus commercial couple hard move team time
We chartered a couple times in my career, but we go commercial most of the time when we fly, and we try to bus as much as we can. It's hard to move a baseball team commercially.
against few gave good performance pitch played team
Cruse gave us the performance of his career. I'd like to get a few more hits, but we played about as good as we can and pitched about as good as we can pitch against a team of that caliber.
bit coach everybody finger hard pick short teams turned
Everybody has turned it up a notch. The teams that were a little bit short years ago have narrowed the gap. You can't pick a team to play. It's one of those things that's hard to put a finger on other than to say, 'Everybody's good.' And it's not just coach talk.
great players plays smart teams veteran
There's nothing better than a veteran team, that plays hard, that plays smart and has great leadership. But there's some teams where you have young players on and this is one of them.

We've gotten better, but as I reminded the team there is just a few steps between the outhouse and the penthouse. You've got to play with heightened awareness all the time.

freshmen maturity poise team
I don't think we've ever had a team where we've relied on freshmen like this season. They play with more maturity and poise than their age.
good gotten last played quite team

bit teams
We're banged up a little bit but other teams are banged up too.
beat certainly great team tonight
They've got a great team and if you're going to beat them you have to be at your best. Certainly tonight we weren't.
expect runs teams
You would expect runs to be at a premium. But you can never tell when these teams get together.
baseball great hard playing teams tomorrow
I think it's great that we have two teams playing baseball tomorrow where it's hard to get a ticket. That's outstanding.
best caught good happened hate played playing team time today
I just hate doubleheaders in general. But it had nothing to do with what happened today. We played a team today that's very, very good and we caught them at a time when they're playing their best baseball.
programs stick successful teams
I like it the other way; I like the stability. But there are a lot of teams that make changes. There are many very successful programs that don't always stick with their rotation.
