We talked about coming ready to pitch and play, and I think that was the difference. Josh came out and took charge of the game. We came out aggressive swinging the bats, put some runs up early and that gave us some breathing room.

More Randy Ready on Wikipedia.I think I would rather hold back on the celebration until mid?September. It's not always now we start but how we finish that's important. Myself and my staff and these young men as they start getting an understanding of playing baseball at the professional level and if they do that they'll have success. They go hand in hand.
We aren't going to hit home runs day in and day out. It is going to be the little things that are going to make or break this season for us, moving runners over, getting runners in from (third base) with less than two outs. Those are the things we need to do.
We just took a series against a pretty good ball club. We talk about winning series, two out of three, three out of four. It was nice to get a series win on opening weekend.
He's a pretty even-keel kid. He's going to be a guy who can stay away from the peaks and valleys. That's a big advantage in this game. His personality suits his position well.
I always wondered, well could you go from A ball to the Major Leagues? It seems like a long stretch. Most people feel the game really becomes a game from Double A up. You've got more prospects, more of an understanding of the game. I think it was nice to be considered, knowing I still have a possibility to go from A ball to the Major Leagues.
This is just how it's materialized – guys picking each other up. If somebody doesn't come through or get the hit, it seems like the next guy is picking him up. It's 25 guys collectively, and so far, we've been able to ham and egg that.
It seems like he's getting a real good look at the baseball. We talk about that day in, day out. And if you talk to anybody that's run in to a pretty good streak going, they're saying that. He's squaring up a lot of baseballs right now.
Both of them look really comfortable up there right now. Other guys are getting into that groove… I don't think we can sit back, play that brand of baseball and be successful all season.
