There are economic differences between the teams, so I'm sure some teams want to get playing because they're losing money by not playing. But I anticipate we will come out of this with a total resolve to fix the system, and we'll press forward in trying to accomplish that goal.
We know we are in a tough division. The three teams we're competing with have the same expectation of winning the division. That's our expectation.
Getting out of the seventh inning was absolutely crucial in staying in the ball game. It kept both teams on even keel rather than giving them the upper advantage to where we had to fight from behind.
I think that we showed the Dominican crowd a very good game in a great tournament with the best teams of the continent.
We are balanced, and we're hopeful our experience will help us out. But around the City, there are a number of teams playing well. But until somebody knocks them off, Arlington's the champ.
We can very easily go out and beat some of the teams we might match up with that are outside of our conference.
We just were talking about what a great time it is for the American Airlines Center to have two teams to go really far in the playoffs. This is the first time we've got both teams going well at the same time.
Both teams are struggling right now. You can never tell, it might be a real good game.
We're going to be a lot more aggressive on the bases than we were last year. We've got a lot of speed to throw at teams and with the way the kids have been working together, that's going to be a big factor for us.
Defensively, we're not terrible. But we make mistakes, and other teams capitalize on them. They capitalize on every mistake we make and score runs.
It's a big game. They're (Quad Cities) trying to prove they're one of the top three or four teams in the league.
It was really a great game between two great teams and it's too bad anybody had to lose. We both put it out there on the field, but we just didn't make enough plays.
This is a very big win. If you look lately, a lot of teams have been beating the top-ranked teams. We needed to do that. We needed a signature win, and I think this is one of them.
I don't think we could hit the ball any harder than we did today. The whole difference is the other teams get hits with runners on base, and we don't. We don't get the key hits at the key times.
