 Welcome into the Jason Taney show. I'm Joe Wamba joined now with Jason Taney head coach of the baseball team coach You guys play a lot of games this weekend, you know But splitting them in series that you really needed talk a little bit about you know, what went wrong. Yeah Yeah, and on Saturday we split a series with hood and you know give hood credit They made a good comeback there in the second game won the first game four to three Behind Dan Williams pitching a good game second game You know, we're up seven to seven to four going into the last inning and you know We have a couple hiccups make couple mistakes and unfortunately that led to a comeback By hood and then they took the lead going to the bottom seventh And we loaded the bases with one out bottom seventh had a chance and unfortunately You know they turned a crucial double play and ended the game on it. So yeah, it was a challenge Yeah, those double plays whether you make them or don't can't or hit into them can be you know, either You know stint of momentum or drive you into momentum. How do you overcome that? Yeah, they can be game-changing So yeah, and then in that game we had a chance to turn one ourselves and we talked about momentum you know that would ended the game and at that point they didn't have any runs in that inning so that momentum obviously shifted on us and As a team we weren't able to recover from it So so I don't know how to answer that question because we don't always recover from those situations and You know, unfortunately on Sunday, we had a similar situation and a similar outcome And we recover from that in the second game to win a second game But yeah, those are tough, you know momentum momentum is in baseball is really interesting We always say momentum to your next day starting pitcher, but within a game there are momentum shifts Absolutely, and I'm making big defensive plays are a big part of that as you guys move forward in the rest of the conference schedule, of course, you're gonna be playing on Thursday and a double header on Friday this week and a very important series as You're gonna be battling a team that you're neck-and-neck with in the standings right now. Yeah, this conference is kind of strange this year We have two really powerful teams at the top that are Putting some wins on the board against the lower-end teams And then Austin, Lebanon Valley, you know, we're sitting there, you know neck-and-neck I would say to you earlier, you know, we're in a little bit of a rebuilding year because of so many seniors We had last year and so we're pleased to be in this position We'd like to be a little better position because we had our opportunities, but Yeah, to be to be neck-and-neck with Lebanon Valley, you know depending on today's outcome. They play messiah today You know messiah wins will actually be tied for fourth place with Lebanon Valley going to the series Lebanon Valley wins will be one game behind them going into the series I got the best news though, and we keep telling our team this the best news is We own our destiny. Yeah, we're in complete control of our destiny If we win the series and left on the schedule, which we're capable of doing then we're fine We just need to we need to do that and we've shown promise. We've said we we've started to hit the ball a lot better here in the last couple days I think the warm weather helps, but we've shown the promise there We just need to put it all together, and I honestly I said it I think I said it last week I'm hoping the momentum and The fact that we're starting to play a little better now Leads us through the last three weeks of season and into the conference tournament conference tournaments are won by teams that are hot Not necessarily the best team the team that's the hottest, right? So we're hoping will be the hottest team going into the tournament you guys definitely were pretty hot last week You guys were on a little bit of a win streak and then a little Bumbles in the bullpen a little bit. You're gonna be changing some things up How do you get back into that winning mode that you had last week? Well, you know, it's it's interesting because you know last week even though we had won five in a row And our team knew this we had this discussion. We didn't particularly play well. Mm-hmm. We were not hitting the ball very well So we were we were finding ways to win ball games, which was great We'd like to find ways when ball games ball playing. Well, it'd be nice You know, so we're hoping to get back on that streak a little bit like I said this weekend We definitely hit the ball a lot better against Lynchburg and hood So we see that coming along we are gonna make a couple adjustments in our pitching staff Our bullpen has been has been a struggle this year. It's just there's no way around it It's been a struggle. So we're gonna make a couple adjustments and hopefully going into this series We'll be a little stronger in the pen And then stronger in the next weekend as well And then those guys would have experience if you guys would make the playoffs and have a playoff run Yeah, we the adjustments we're making you know, we're gonna we're gonna play with our rotation a little bit We've got we got a we got a couple guys that are hot starters right now and You know, even yesterday we have one of our our relievers. They're five innings in relief And only throw one one inning all year and five innings and through through the ball terrific You know guys like that, you know are stepping up and making some making making us Readjust some things But yeah, that we're hoping we're hoping that that'll lead us into the next next part of the season They're making you have to evaluate for the good not because of poor play or anything. Absolutely. Absolutely. We love that Yeah, you're right. Well, coach, we wish you the best of luck this week and good luck in these series you got coming up Thank you. He's Jason Taney.
