Outstanding. He threw 98 pitches and 96 of them were fastballs.

Pitching well in this league is not a velocity issue. A lot of people equate velocity with success, but that's not necessarily true. He knows what he can do.

It allows the ballpark to model itself on what we as a team do best.

John seems to have really found himself in the past few games and it's were thrilled to have him swinging the bat the way he is capable.

Matt has a lot of confidence and it is great to see him have some success here. He really works hard in practice and he had a great summer also so we are pleased that he was able to come out and do what he did today.
capable figure four good homes hope household kids recruiting seven
I was in the household of about seven of those kids, in their homes recruiting them, four years ago. I know how good those kids are, and I know they're just not doing what they're capable of doing. You just hope they don't figure it out here.
crucial game realm takes whatever win
I wouldn't say it's out of the realm of possibility, especially down the stretch. We'll do whatever it takes to win a game in the league, because every game is crucial at this point.
arm athletic feet guy labeled left people runs strength strong third throwing valuable work
He's a lot more athletic than people think. The big, strong guy is typically labeled a non-athlete. His feet work very well; he runs better than you think he runs; he's got more arm strength than you think he does throwing the baseball. I think he could be a left or right fielder. I think he could probably play third base, but he's so valuable for us at first base.
across defensive good normally solid throw
He's a very good defensive player. In the cold, he doesn't throw it across as well as he normally does. He just never panics, he's always under control, and he's a very solid defender.
home medication ready severe
He had some severe pains. He had to take some medication for it, so we just told him to go home and get some sleep, and get ready to go tomorrow.
blow bright came capable league next scratch sky starting surface
He has a very bright professional future. If he came back, the sky would be the limit, because he's just starting to scratch the surface of what he's capable of. I think he could really blow this league up next year.

Greg really battled and made some great pitches to get out of some jams. The bases were loaded against him without the ball leaving the infield and it didn't affect him. He stepped up and showed his maturity and poise as a pitcher.

He is going home to get some rest,

He has really found a way to throw breaking balls in the strike zone. Guys start sitting on the breaking ball, then he blows a 95-mile-per-hour fastball by them.
