Barry Russell (New South Wales, Australia), was a rugby league footballer in the New South Wales Rugby League competition. (wikipedia)
Lefties have given this district fits for years. Hopefully Brandon can be like those guys.
We have played two really good teams who had something on the line. It was very difficult to win in San Angelo and (the Odessa High) game was very much like a playoff game for them.
I told the team that one run wasn't enough. You can't take a game off in this district, especially when you have a mark on your back like us.
It's tough to beat somebody like Lee three times in one year. (Flynn) gave up only one run while not having his best game. We'll live and learn from this.
I've preached all year that we've got to hit the fastball better. Last year we didn't do that. There's some pretty good pitchers out there and we've got to be able to handle them.
We're starting to find a way to win by finding a way to get on base however possible. Sometimes it seems like we find a way to try to lose and we need to overcome that.
If somebody decided to use their best pitcher on Tuesday, he might be available on Saturday. Otherwise, I think everyone will be out (of pitching) by then.
I'm extremely happy (to have a bye) at this point. I don't know if our schedule was so grueling that we just limped in. I'm glad to have this week off.
It's obviously not good that we've lost two in a row to end the first half (of district). I'm not sure exactly what's going on with us. If I knew, I'd fix it.
