conference score wins
Two conference wins - we'll take them any way we can. We just battled back, chipped away and were able to score some more runs.
ball good knows last led looked playing problems running sure three tonight week year
We've been playing pretty good ball all year and been playing really good ball the last two or three weeks, and really have not had any problems running the bases. And tonight it looked like it was the first week of the season. Who knows if (they) would have led to a run, but it sure led to an out.
athletics kids nice proud row special
It?s going to be a special place. And not just for baseball, but because you have that whole row for the athletics complex. We?re going to have these nice new fields, something all the kids can be proud of.
faced good pitcher
We faced a really good pitcher our first game.
bit faster finally good guys slow
We started off slow and they started off a little bit faster than we did. We finally made some good adjustments at the plate. We got guys on and made things happen. We just have to do that sooner.
complete compliment compliments excellent good looking offensive pitching seems start time twice year
What we've been looking for and we've had it just once or twice it seems is that complete offensive game. And we've got to compliment that with good pitching and defense. We're getting to that time of the year where it's an excellent time to start doing that.
care errors pitch three
We were just flat. The first three innings, we made errors and didn't pitch real well. You've got to take care of the baseball.
boys fourth half played seventh three
We were just flat. The boys didn't play very well the first three innings. From the fourth through the seventh, we played real well. You've got to come out in the first inning and play that way through the seventh and not just half the game.
couple looking playing regardless sports week
We'd like to play. Now you're looking at a week in between games. Regardless of who we're playing we'd like to play a couple times a week.
game hopefully next ready
A lot of that has to do with between the ears. So much of this game is in the mind. Hopefully we'll be ready to go next time.
adding building talking
They're already talking about adding on or building a new one.
anybody care control count good hopefully nice
As well as things have gone, it's still not over. You have to take care of your business. It's nice that we're in control of our own destiny. We don't have to count on anybody right now in doing anything else. If we can take care of things, hopefully good things will happen.
ball good happen hitting hopefully pitchers plays starting throwing time
That's what we need this time of the year. We need to be hitting the ball and we had a good time at the plate. We're making plays and pitchers are throwing strikes. This is when we need that to happen and it's starting to come together. Hopefully we'll keep it up.
pitches settled six threw
Zach (Hedges) started out a little shaky. But then he settled down and only threw 66 pitches through six innings. That is phenomenal.
