Dan Hartleb Quotations

We've bounced back all year. We have been back and forth between good and bad stretches all year. Everyday is a new day and every game is a new game. We have to look forward and get in the right frame of mind to perform.

We can control our own destiny. We can push some team ahead of us down a little bit and raise ourselves up at the same time. That's what you want. Just an opportunity to control your own destiny and we are capable of doing that.

This year for sure he'll have some football responsibilities. It is something that can be worked out.

He is so successful because he's such a competitor. I can't say I'm surprised he's doing this, but it's pleasant to see.

He'll be in the lineup, probably mostly at second base. He is a person who is athletic enough who could move to third base or the outfield. I've talked with him that if it means getting the best nine on the field, we could do that.

I was happy we did some things early. It relaxes everybody to get some early hits. You get a little mental momentum.

Chase has matured a lot as a person and as a player. He got a good number of at bats early in the year and is starting to feel comfortable at the plate and is seeing the ball very well. He has learned to use all fields instead of being a one-dimensional hitter.

Overall I thought from both sides of the field we weren't a very good team today. We got runners on base but didn't do a good job of playing team baseball.

I was pleased with the way Aaron performed. Looking back at his last outing he really struggled, but he took a step forward today. He got us off to a good start and got the team off on the right foot.

I was pleased with our situational hitting today. I told our players that we are good enough to take games over and take the pressure off of our pitchers and defense and we really took the game over offensively. I was pleased with the strides we made between the two games.
