Ken Riley Quotations

There's no doubt that they're going to be the table setters for us. They can do a lot of things. They can hit-and-run. They can bunt. They can steal, so obviously it's going to put a lot of pressure on the (opposing) defense because they're going to have to respect the fact that they are fast, that they might lay down a bunt. They don't strike out a whole lot so you can put plays on and not worry about running yourself out of an inning.

I was happy with the way the kids approached the game offensively. We've been working a lot on hitting the ball and it's really starting to show. It was a big win - we needed it.

We were trying to work him away and (pitcher) Chase (Meister) did a pretty good job of location most of the time, but I think he got just a little too much of the plate and Felix is a big, strong kid and he just went the other way and it was way out. It was a shot.

They were really disappointed with how we played Central the first time around. They really thought we let one get away because we didn't play well. We wanted to come out and play well this time around.

If the pitchers throw like I think they can throw, we're going to be tough. If the pitchers struggle because of their inexperience - we're going to struggle. That's just how it is.

We've got a lot of experience coming back, which is always nice - you can't substitute it.

I think any given day, any of them could be great. It's just picking the right day with the right guy.

He's been starting to see the ball a lot better recently and even his outs (against Taft) he hit the ball hard. It's not surprising at all to see him take one out of the ball park.
