both johnny time tonight
I'm not down on Evan Crawford or Johnny Thompson. Both of them had to scuffle tonight for the first time in a long, long time.
breath deep deliver good guys instead matter maybe relax trying
It's a matter of having guys relax and not try to do so much. They just need to take a deep breath and try to make good contact. Sometimes, everyone is trying to deliver that blow, maybe trying to do too much instead of relaxing.
aggression deep error outfield playing rather score shot

That was a big-time at bat from Josh. I knew he had a hit when it left his bat.
