bat few found games himself john past seems swinging thrilled
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.
approach ball bat blows good great hitting home job liked plate win wind
This was a really good win for us. I liked our approach at the plate and we did a great job of squaring the bat on the ball and hitting it hard. When the wind blows out like it did today, you do those things and you're going to see some home runs.
approach battling change continue fan great hey kids rankings single starts step worry
Rankings are great for recruiting, it's great for our fan base, and it's great for these kids to reward, but at the same time, it really doesn't change our approach. As a coach, if it starts to change your approach a little bit, you have to step in and say, hey look, we need to get right back to where we were. Hopefully, we continue on the same path, not worry about those things, and keep battling every single pitch.
bats came focused found good hit holes player
We came out focused and had some really good at bats out of every player today. I thought we hit it hard, which we've been doing but we found the holes today.
baseball bats easily good hits pleased today
We only had 10 hits but we could have easily had 20 because we scalded the baseball today. I thought our at bats were very good today so I'm was pleased with that.
pitches threw
Outstanding. He threw 98 pitches and 96 of them were fastballs.
equate knows league people pitching velocity
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.
ballpark itself model team
It allows the ballpark to model itself on what we as a team do best.
confidence great hard matt pleased practice success summer works
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.
