40 Quotes by Dave Esquer

Jordan hasn't played in a long time, and he really sparked us today. That's what we're looking for when we're moving guys in and out of the lineup. We're looking for that spark.

Josh had one of his best offensive days when he played second base at Davis. And whether it's psychological or not, we tried it out just to see, and he did well today. He looked much better at the plate.

I think it's indicative of a young team that hasn't matured yet that we play to the level of our competition. We've got to establish some consistency. We obviously know what we're capable of at our best, and we're not at our best.

Our goal is to just develop some consistency, so we know when we come out to the ballpark how we're going to play. We haven't done that except for pitching and good defense. We've had a hard time getting going offensively.

Our middle of the lineup and our average with runners in scoring position just haven't been that good. We haven't given our pitching staff any margin for error yet, and that's been a little frustrating.

I think they're coming around. We strike out four or fewer times per game, and that's excellent. It's a whole lot easier to get yourself hitting if you're already (making contact) than to get yourself hitting from striking out. If we continue to push and feel positive, it'll happen if we make it happen.

Those are our staples-we pitch and play defense. That's about as many errors as we've made in a game all year, especially at home.

We don't have a true closer right now, so we're going to play the hot hand. We're kind of forced to play the hot hand and let it roll until it starts to falter, and unfortunately it did.

We still haven't met up with any warm weather, so we're still waiting to thaw out a little bit. That's not an excuse, but hopefully we hit some good weather.
