conference good rest won
We had a good season, we had fun, we won the Mason-Dixon Conference championship. But after that, we got on with the rest of our life.
rough
We've been through some very rough times. But we survived. Now we're on the rebound.
surprise
He has just been awesome. It's no surprise to us.
above absolute arm ball baseman best cannon defensive double everybody good great guy hands rarely second turns
Castillo is a good second baseman and he's going to be a great defensive second baseman. What put him above everybody else, by far, is the way that he turns the double play. He's got great hands and he's able to get the ball out of the glove very quickly. He also has an absolute cannon for an arm. Very rarely do you find a second baseman who has the best arm on the team. That guy does.
point stronger
I'm a lot stronger now than I have been at any point this season,
five knew last record
You look at our record the last five years and you knew it was pretty much inevitable.
good
You're thinking, 'Not again. But the good thing it isn't serious.
best finds grasped offense score teams win
The teams that are the best teams find a way to win when they don't have their best games. The offense finds a way to score runs. I think we haven't really grasped that idea yet.
bad losing playing record
You can't look at our record right now -- it'll only put you in a bad mood. It's not like we've been playing horrible. We just can't put it together. That's how you become a losing team.
bad record
It's one of those things where you have to keep playing. You can't look at your record right now because it's only going to put you in a bad mood.
behind pitch played seen
It's kind of different because you've never seen him pitch before, never played behind him,
best exciting kept stuff
It's exciting he didn't have his best stuff and he still kept us in the game.
anybody bad ball ended hit
That's really unacceptable. That's the ball I want hit to me every time. To make that bad a throw, there is nothing anybody can do about that. That ended up costing us the game.
bad demanded ended fired guy record shows
That's the bad part of baseball: If you're the manager, you're going to get all the blame. He ended up getting fired for what we didn't do. He was the kind of guy who demanded everything he could get out of you. We just didn't get it done, and our record shows that.
