add came couple early hold hoping opponents opposition philosophy pressure puts score short zero
Our philosophy is to score in the first inning and then hold our opponents for zero in the first inning and we've done that. We did that a couple of (games) ago and came out on the short end so I really want us to get up early in the game. That puts the pressure on the opposition and we've done that, but we didn't add on like I was hoping we would.
allow coming credit early guys ton
I give a ton of credit to our guys for coming back. We were down early and we could've folded the tents, but we didn't allow that to happen.
afraid balls couple early games kick ourselves pride
We're not afraid to kick a couple of balls around early in games and get ourselves in a hole. We take so much pride in our defense, but for some reason, we're snake-bitten when we play at home.
add early importance kids preach relying runs scoring
We preach to our kids about the importance of scoring early and relying on our pitching. We were able to do that today, but we didn't add runs like I would have liked.
ahead ball breaking count early fastball hitters seeing throw work
We work on that a lot, especially early on, being able to throw your breaking ball early in the count and get ahead of the hitters without them seeing his fastball first.
count early great kenny knew pitch season
I knew Kenny had a no-hitter, but his pitch count was getting up there. He was doing a great job, but it's early in the season and I didn't want to keep him in there too long.
ball early kid season threw true
Their kid threw the ball well as well. It was a true early season pitchers' battle.
defend defending field game home hopefully next pride ready talked week
We need to defend our home field better. We talked about pride and defending our home turf and getting ready for a big week next week. Hopefully this game will be a springboard to next week.
best double plays possible seen took
That was one of the best plays I've seen an outfielder make. He took a possible double away from them.
came great job matt needed pick
Matt did a great job out there. We needed him to pick us up and he came through for us.
best came fantastic gave great hitters jeff job meat nick order pop
Jeff Holm did a great job. We really don't know what we're going to get from him (sometimes), but he came in (this game) and just did a fantastic job. With the meat of their order up and getting Nick Herrera, one of the best hitters in the area, to pop out was great. That gave us momentum.
year
We're pretty much getting on his back. We told him going into the year that he's going to be our guy.
allowed bit fifth four great lost starts threw tired
Jake threw a great game. He tired a bit in the fifth and lost a little of his control, but in four starts he still hasn't allowed a run.
ahead behind defense fortunate game hit phenomenal pitchers pitches played typical
Jake did a phenomenal job. Got ahead of hitters, made them hit his pitches and our defense played very well behind him ? typical early-season game where pitchers are dominant. We were very fortunate to get this win.
