With this team we're cautiously optimistic. It's basically the same team from last year . . . so we're expecting them to do a little bit better than we did last year. But we have a tough road ahead, especially in our district.
I told my team the team that is going to win this district will need to have a lot of resiliency, courage, stamina and heart pills.
I don't like moral victories. We played well, and we made some mistakes, which cost us.
If you're going to do everything wrong in one night, hopefully, we'll get it all out of our system. We'll see what kind of character we have. We'll see if we're as good as we think we are.
We actually thought we had our defense solid, and we thought it was the best part of our team. I guess it's time to make some adjustments to it. As a head coach, it's my responsibility, and I'm disappointed in the way we performed (Tuesday night).
He's a new pitcher who is learning. He came back and got a pop-up and ground ball. It was a tough play to make an off-balance throw.
We made a silly mistake, and 10 seconds later they're within three runs. That's what happens when you don't play smart the entire game. But boy, he hit that ball a long way.
I thought he pitched great. He's throwing strikes, and when he lost a couple of times out there, he made adjustments without being told about it. And that was really good to see.
He looked like he got a little stiff out there. When you get ahead 4-0, it's time to bury them. If you want to be an excellent team, that's what you have to do.
