ability behind chance combined coming good guys hitters offense scoring
You get those two guys on and then you have some pretty good hitters coming up behind them who have a good chance of scoring some runs. Those two (Wallace and Barnes) combined have been a big part of our offense because of their ability to get on. Brandt has done great.
four good guys held hits lead pitching proud runners scoring solid timely took
We had two solid pitching performances, good defense, and timely hits with runners in scoring position. I was proud of our guys the first game, when we were down four and just chipped away and chipped away, took the lead and held on.
felt good heads hung life longer sorry
We just hung our heads like we felt sorry for ourselves. We no longer had those good at-bats, and the life just went out of the team.
blessed conference continue determined earn good hopefully intensity level maintain ourselves playoff position spots start state time week work year
We've put ourselves in a good position for this time of the year and we have to maintain that level of intensity that we've had and continue to play well. There are no state playoff spots determined y e t. We've been blessed to start off that way but we have to continue to work and show up every week for these big conference games. Hopefully we'll continue to play well and earn a spot.
ball good knows last led looked playing problems running sure three tonight week year
We've been playing pretty good ball all year and been playing really good ball the last two or three weeks, and really have not had any problems running the bases. And tonight it looked like it was the first week of the season. Who knows if (they) would have led to a run, but it sure led to an out.
faced good pitcher
We faced a really good pitcher our first game.
bit faster finally good guys slow
We started off slow and they started off a little bit faster than we did. We finally made some good adjustments at the plate. We got guys on and made things happen. We just have to do that sooner.
complete compliment compliments excellent good looking offensive pitching seems start time twice year
What we've been looking for and we've had it just once or twice it seems is that complete offensive game. And we've got to compliment that with good pitching and defense. We're getting to that time of the year where it's an excellent time to start doing that.
anybody care control count good hopefully nice
As well as things have gone, it's still not over. You have to take care of your business. It's nice that we're in control of our own destiny. We don't have to count on anybody right now in doing anything else. If we can take care of things, hopefully good things will happen.
ball good happen hitting hopefully pitchers plays starting throwing time
That's what we need this time of the year. We need to be hitting the ball and we had a good time at the plate. We're making plays and pitchers are throwing strikes. This is when we need that to happen and it's starting to come together. Hopefully we'll keep it up.
good hitting plate time
This is what we need this time of year. We need to be hitting the ball, we had a good day at the plate today. We had some good at-bats.
battle continued good guys home
Our guys showed a lot today. We go down, give up a home run, don't score. We continued to battle and have good at-bats.
ball bat good learn pitch selective starting strength strong trust wait
He's stinking strong. He's starting to put a better bat on the ball and starting to be more selective at the plate. That's encouraging when a guy's big and strong like that. His strength is in the gaps, he can put one out (in the gaps). If he can learn to wait and trust that he's going to get that pitch to drive, good things will happen.
advantage given good strong taking
He's young and he's strong and he's got a good bat. He's been given an opportunity, and he's taking advantage of it.
