Val Trujillo Quotations

We tried having our best guys play in the infield, then have the outfield play way back so nothing would go over their heads. But the ball would bounce over their heads or get away from them. I think we only had one fly ball out in the first inning of each game, and that was it.

The outfield killed me. So did the eight runs they got against us in the fourth inning.

We're gonna work them to death this week.

Richard said 'My dad missed it'. He said, 'He'll never have a chance to see that again.

I don't get too upset over losing. We've got to get rid of the ball quicker instead of standing there thinking about it.

Jason did all right, but he tries to overpower people and ends up falling behind. Then he puts one right over the plate, and they knock the hell out of it.

Some of our kids don't even pay attention. I asked some of the kids in the dugout if they saw what happened on a play, and no one knew. You could give them a quiz at the end of an inning about what went on, and they'll get every question wrong.

The wind was blowing pretty hard, but these guys can't see the ball.

That kid always hits the ball, but he's so slow. When we hit the ball, we put the pressure on them. Earlier, we were our own worst enemy.

I'm looking forward to these guys coming up to our place when we don't have a district game coming up.

You've got to allow kids to be kids. Our discipline will get better; I just wish we didn't have to play district games so early.

The last two innings of the first game, we started hitting the ball. Before that, it didn't seem like we thought we could do it. I told these guys to hit the ball and make the other team make mistakes.
