 Hello and welcome to the Dave Gage show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce showing my students in baseball coach Dave Gage. Coach you opened a conference play this past weekend. First, you know, you play the game Wednesday at York non-conference game and you know, picked up the 6-0 shut our victory. So kind of take us to that win and especially the pitching performance of Mike Ramirez. A great week for us overall, as you said, our starters did a tremendous job. Mike was phenomenal that day. We were calling pitches. All three pitches were working. And at this level when all three pitches work, it's you're very, very tough to beat and he was hitting his spots. And our defense did a really good job, too. Made some great plays, couple diving plays, outfield assists. So just overall, I thought that was our most complete game. You know, we executed a couple a couple bunts that were timely, a good base running, a couple of hard 90 infield singles. So just overall a very, very good game on Wednesday afternoon up at York. Yeah. And then this weekend, you open up a conference play against Weiner. 17-6 went home on Friday, then split up at Weiner on Sunday. Again, great pitching all three days. And I just kind of take us to, you know, the weekend. Sure. Starting pitching, again, was was phenomenal. Each one of those guys did what they were supposed to do. They competed. We talked about, you know, stop trying to be perfect. And I thought that's what our starters had been doing this year and just go out and compete. And you saw that. And they did a good job. They threw strikes. I got to imagine our walk numbers were down. You know, I didn't look at it a ton, but I know our earned run numbers were down. So very happy. And then hitting the ball, I thought Friday we were phenomenal. We had a seven run inning and a second inning. And that's a really good way to start off conference play. And then yesterday, we faced a really good pitcher in game one against Weiner and grinded out a win there and again, played good defense in the second game. You know, I thought I thought the game could have went either way, but we, you know, still came away. We had a chance there in the last inning, tying run on second base. So overall, good weekend one series, like you said, three and one week. So overall, pretty happy with where we're at. Yeah. And that's all I can ask for is, you know, either win the series, B to B in the games that necessarily you don't pull out. So they have a chance in the final inning. Of course, it's just being competitive, you know. And as you said, as we want to make sure every out is meaningful and that we're not giving away out. And I thought that we did that for the most part in all three or all four games last week. Yeah. And overall, as you said, your goal is sure is just keep getting better every day. And it appears, you know, at least, you know, look at the scores and results that you guys have been doing that. For sure. I thought last week was probably our best week of baseball. And as I've said, as you just said, is our goal is to improve. So if you're playing the best baseball lately, that's what you want to do. Now can we take it another step this week? Because we're going to play a very good team in hood this weekend. Yeah, obviously in the conference series against hood, like you said, a very good team. And, you know, like all the teams in the conference, you know, very good. And, you know, you've got to show up to compete, you know, all three games. Of course. I mean, I think they're 15 and one right now. They're playing really good baseball. I think they're receiving votes in one of the, you know, national polls. So quality team and we had a good practice this morning. And hopefully we'll just continue to get better as the week goes on and be prepared Friday afternoon. All right, Coach, we wish you the best of luck this weekend and we'll talk to you next week. Thanks, Greg. All right. For Dave Gage, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Dave Gage show.
