best enjoy games great larry seasons
We always enjoy the games between us. We always have great contests. Larry and I have been best friends for 20 seasons out here.
credit games giving kids leaving runners runs seven win
Our kids battled back. I give credit where credit's due, but you won't win many games by giving up seven runs in the first two innings, and leaving 13 runners on base.
focus game offense players
We just wanted our players to focus on our game and play more efficiently on offense and defense. I think we were able to do that.
cincinnati everybody game ideally jersey locker playing room teams wants wearing win
Everybody in that locker room wearing a Cincinnati jersey wants to win. There's not a lot of teams still playing now, not a lot of teams still practicing. It's not ideally where we want to be, but if we play our game the way we should, we can win the NIT.
ball broke game home late runs solid though tight
We had some big hits. Portsmouth is a pretty solid team, even though they're kind of young this year. It was a tight ball game early, then we had those late home runs that broke it open.
ask game gave kept relief
He kept us in the game and gave us a chance. That's all you can ask of a relief pitcher.
five game hard hole last losses lost reason sorry time
You don't have time to do that. If you feel sorry for yourself, that's another game you're going to lose. You can't take losses that hard or you get yourself in a hole and before you know it you've lost five of your last six. Then you have a reason to feel sorry for yourself.

ball balls five found hitting last people six today
We've been hitting the ball really well the last five or six games. We hit some balls hard, but right at people too. But today most of them found holes.
ball complain happy hit swings
I think we can hit the ball a little better than we did. I'm not happy with some of our swings at the plate, but that's going to come. We can't complain about 10 hits.
absurd court thankfully
I think it was absurd and the court thankfully reversed itself.
ball clubs confident guys normally played stage took tough
I think it was stage fright. I just didn't see that confident look these guys normally have. And we've played tough ball clubs all year. That really took me by surprise.
against basketball cannot good mistakes solid team types
We just did not play a solid basketball game. Against a good team like that, you cannot make the types of mistakes that we made.
field five pitchers played threw
We played a lot better in the field. And all five pitchers we used threw well.
