These guys are a bunch of hard-nose players who will get after it and they hate to lose. That is something you cannot teach or coach, you have to be born with it.
We played one of our best games of the season so far all over the field with hitting, pitching and defense. This team finally got glimpse of how they can play if they live up to their potential and execute what we go over in practice.
We were down 5-2 in the first couple of innings after the defense committed a few errors. But all the players calmed down and played a great game from the fourth inning on.
The umpire must have thought I said something to him when I didn't. But we got the win, and that's all that matters.
We played a good game in that one. Brett pitched a good game and helped us out with a good performance on the mound.
We've been practicing for a few weeks, and we're ready to get started playing.
We put in a lot of late hours of practice trying to get better each day. And we are showing a lot of progress from the first game until now.
We have a couple of areas that need work, and we will. Because these area games are what it's all about.
Brett did a good job pitching for us in the win, but we had a little trouble when he got behind in the count for a couple of innings. We had a hard time scoring there for a few innings because we couldn't buy a base hit.
We couldn't generate any offense today. We didn't swing the bats and when we did, we popped it up for an out most of the time.
