Frank Romero Ball Quotations

He's going to give you everything he's got, and he's going to give us a chance to put us in the ball game. I feel confident. The team had a good workout today.

Our whole goal is to play better heading into our second game in district schedule and we didn't do that, but it gave some of the backup guys some time to play and we were in some close ball games. You can only practice and simulate that a few times. There's no substitute for that. Hopefully this can be something we can learn from as we start district.

We'll take it. We came out and swung the bats early. I told them they play hard at home. They've lost four ball games by one run in district. They made a comeback. I was really proud of our kids for hanging in there at the end. It looked pretty bad. We came back and made some big pitches and got through it. We sure needed the win. We have games the next two days. It was big for us.

We went 10 innings with them the first time, and I expect it to be a good ball game on Tuesday. They have two good right handers that I expect to face, so we'll try to see what we can do with them, but it's going to be competitive all the way through. You just have to come out ready to play every night.

You got to take advantage of your opportunities, and so far we've done that. We haven't played well defensively. If you can make routine routine plays you can win ball games and we have to get to where we can do that. Some of the conditions were a little wet the past few days, but I think we will get better in that area, it surely gives you something to work on.

It's a big one. Tomball, over the last few years, has won as many games as anybody in the state. Their staff does a great job. Hopefully we can have a big crowd. It's a shot-in-the-arm for our kids. This may be the best ball club we've face this year.

It was a total team effort. We played 16-17 guys per game. It's really good to see contributions up and down our lineup. When they get to the ball park, they are ready to play because they know they are going to play at some point and time.

It was a big win. North Shore had beaten a good Cy-Fair ball club. I told our kids they were going to be in a seven-inning fight. I was real proud of the way we played. We made plays when we had to. Jeremy showed a lot of composure and we made some big plays behind him.

In the seventh we didn't keep the ball in front of us. You get excited in the heat of the game. It didn't lose the ball game for us, but you have to tip your hat to them. They played hard, and that's just the way it is in this district.
