coverage doubt fact giving improved players plays speed sure team teams
There's no doubt that team speed and the fact the players want to get out there and make plays has improved our coverage. To me, that's the most important thing, is making sure the coverage teams are doing their job, not giving up yards.
matter
We just need to find a way to win. It doesn't matter how.
bad changed chase continue gotten head hit pitches starting tom trying
I've changed some things this year. It has been more mental. I don't think it's mechanical. I'm trying to continue to not chase bad pitches and look more for my pitches on different counts, ... Tom McCraw has gotten to my head enough by saying, 'Until you get two strikes, hit your pitch.' And I'm starting to do that a lot more.
affects behind front hit people
Soriano doesn't just hit the ball. He affects people that are in front of him and behind him, too.
ahead couple games
We can't get ahead of ourselves. It's just a couple of games.
coming opponents tough turn
We need to turn it around. It's two tough opponents coming up, so we'll see what we're made of.
exhibition front potential rivalry turn word
I don't think you are going to feel that from us right now because it has the E- word in front of it. It's only an exhibition game. But this rivalry is going to turn into an unbelievable rivalry. It has the potential to be good.
aspect bunch create four happen longer regular relationship
Catchers have to create a relationship with their pitchers, and we have a bunch of new guys. It'll take a little longer in that aspect for me to get ready. Obviously, it's a disruption. But at the same time, it's not a regular thing. This is something that's going to happen just once every four years.
hoping improve last men scoring
Nothing is a guaranteed, but I'm hoping we improve with men in scoring position. Last year, we had a lot of opportunities and we didn't score. How we do that? Hopefully, it just comes with experience. We have to be more disciplined at the plate.
ball gary good great hurting obviously playing team time winning
Obviously you want to be in there. This is the most important time of the year. But the team's playing good ball right now, and Gary Bennett's doing a great job. And obviously the team's winning. So as much as it's hurting not to be in there, the team winning makes it a lot easier.
catching march six
I have a lot of catching up to do. Here it is March 18th and I have six at-bats.
figure good
I can't figure out what it was, ... I know after the game, it didn't feel good at all.
coaching great iowa opportunity people raise several staff
This was a great opportunity for me professionally and personally. I already know several people on this coaching staff and how much they have accomplished here at Iowa State. This is also a great place to raise a family.
ball guy leave miss plate
When you leave a ball out over the plate to a guy like Andruw Jones, he doesn't miss very many.
