Dave Roy Quotations

He hasn't pitched much this year, but I knew he could do it. I have a lot of confidence, and he did a good job of keeping the Demons off balance, and he threw a lot of strikes.

He got a little tired and started getting the ball up, but he was pretty much untouched.

He didn't lose many batters. He did a good job of keeping the ball around the plate, keeping guys off balance, and we couldn't get the key hits when we needed them.

I was amazed at how well both teams did under the conditions.

I thought the players played well with the exception of two or three innings. We are within two or three plays of being in these games, so we'll continue to work on them.

I think we'll be right there in all of those games. This team has a direction now.

Our team is still hibernating. But if our guys can avoid getting down, I think we will continue to improve and will be competitive in the Western Slope League this season.

We just couldn't get the offense going. We did hit the ball well, we got five hits, but Rifle played well and turned some nice double plays. It was that fateful third inning that hurt us. Eli Snead from Rifle nailed a huge home run right into the wind.

We'll come back looking to be more competitive with them next week.

We were in the second game. We were right there.

We had some good performances by individuals. We just came up a little short.

We had a couple of bad innings. It's unfortunate because I think this is a game that we could have won.

We were fortunate to get some runs across. They had some problems in the field that we were able to take advantage of, and we kind of hung on.

We had a great opportunity to score in the first inning, but we couldn't capitalize.

We hit the ball hard today, but most of the time it was at somebody. I thought we played well, but we didn't get any key hits that we needed.

We scored early, but the bats kind of fell silent in the middle of the game. They take their baseball seriously. It was fun to go over there and play them.

I used to come down and polish John Wayne because I was proud he was here and proud to be here. Not anymore.

Delta is a team that's always real competitive. We are pointing to them as the top team in the league. They are well-coached and have great ballplayers.

They scored nine runs in the fourth inning. Of those nine, five were unearned. That was pretty much the story of the game.

It was beautiful weather. I told the guys before the game that this might be the best weather we see all spring. We had a lot of fun.

It was horrible. The wind picked up. It had to be like 10 degrees.

Their pitcher was excellent. He limited what we could do at the plate.

Alex did a nice job. We had poor defensive mechanics. We weren't disciplined.

Alex did a good job working their batters. He kept us in the game.
