 Hello and welcome into the Jason Tawny show. I'm Joe Wombo join now with Jason Tawny head coach of the baseball team and Coach you guys riding a little bit of a four-game win streak. I hope I didn't just jinx you with that Taking down, you know cross-town rival McDaniel and then a sweep against Albright in a series that you really needed Yeah, you know it all comes down to pitching You know pitching and timely hitting but we got we got a good start on on Thursday we're from from junior Michael Ramirez against McDaniel and You know a couple hits held up we scored six beat them six to three and then we came into Albright and and Dominated them on the mound. You know we threw a shutout in the first game We only faced one guy over the minimum return three double plays James Brzezinski through the ball. Well, then of course Saturday morning first game Saturday. We came out through a no-hitter So, you know Dan Williams seven innings no hitters mom's birthday So I think I was a very very pleasant birthday birthday surprise for her and then and then the second game We pitched well enough. We were a little flat coming off of a no-hitter Of course, it's it's a challenge to get us right back up and going again, but we came back one that game four to three I was that was really exciting. I think the funny part of the story though And you had mentioned it earlier is Dan Williams ran off to football practice. There's no hitter gets a pitch taken Let's go to practice. Yeah, right. There's there's no quit in the guy now, which you love and talk about those double double plays that you guys turned And when defense was a struggle for you at times in the season, is this gonna get you guys rolling right when you need it I hope so. I think I think we made one error in the series In fact, I think we made one error in the last four games and and you know we constantly preacher guys pitching in defense is what's gonna it's gonna lead us to a championship and Yeah, we hope so we definitely played a little better than we had been playing and I think honestly I think our backs were against the wall a little bit. We were in a corner and we needed to come out fighting and You know that series against Albright got us got us back in the running. We're now you know tied for fourth place You know and that's that's where we should be in that area And like you said within striking distance of getting to the top three seeds And we got another series come up this weekend with hood that we got a again We got a hand to our business. We're everything. We're still in the driver's seat. Everything's up to us But I think we were I think we're on the they've got the ship right it as I was saying and we're on the Right track now. Yeah, I mean it's always a question of like when the chips are down when things aren't going our way And you're in the corner What's gonna happen and the team showed a lot of fight this week and you're gonna need it heading into this week as you mentioned Yeah, and we showed a lot of fight throughout the throughout the whole week And it nothing was more important than coming down to that last at bat in the last game against Albright Mm-hmm, you know, we were a little flat and and we got it together led the leading off of the double Got a bunt down got the guy to third base and of course You know Kevin copis senior Kevin copis doing Kevin copis and getting it driving in the run Yeah, guys got 27 RBI's hitting 400 on the year. I mean he's He's he's having a career year right now So and he's somebody that you keyed in on in our season preview where you're gonna look for him for some leadership And also and Dan Williams and they're both delivering Yeah, but both of those guys delivered and you know, we're gonna need we're gonna need more guys to deliver As guys cool off and get hot and so on so forth It is it is and you know, but Kevin's been pretty consistent so far You know Dan minus the the two-game hiatus with the injury Has thrown the ball very well for us and we expect that throughout the rest of the season as you head into this week Obviously, you know out of the out of the starting rotation. It's been strong Is it gonna be leading on that starting rotation or got to dive into the bullpen a little bit more? Yeah, you know, it's our starting rotation is definitely on our pitching staff the strength And so our starting rotation is really got to step up and they have and I think they'll continue to do so Our bullpen is gonna have to fill in here in there when needed But but you know, and then you got Remakas who's who's been coming out of the fourth slot. Who's you know, he's gonna start on Wednesday That's gonna be a big start for him after being McDaniel and he's done both He's been coming out of the bullpen consistent or and being effective for you guys and starting right being effective One last question for your coach. We got the orange on predictions for the Orioles season got it got my Orioles tie on You know, I've been saying to a couple people I'm calling for 91 and 71 now Does that win the division or finish in last place? I don't know. I don't know. I'm really excited about them I like the young pitching. I know every all the national people are talked about the pitching and whatnot But you know, I heard a good quote actually directly from Dan Ducat through one of my assistants last year You know in a series. Nobody wants to face Tillman Gossman and Bundy Yeah, in a three in a five game three game five game seven game series, right? So let's see what happens out of it though. I appreciate your time coach this week and good luck this week in all the games and safe travels Thank you. He's Jason Taney. I'm Joe Wamba and this has been the Jason Taney show
