 Hello, and welcome to the Dave Gage show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce, joined with Stevenson Head Baseball coach, Dave Gage. Coach, you played your first two weekends of the season. You're three and three. Kind of assess where the team's at right now. Well, I think we've played pretty average baseball, and that's why we're three and three. But for the most part, I'm pretty happy with what we're doing. We're really focused on the positives right now, and we've played some good teams. So looking forward to keeping this thing rolling. Yeah. This past weekend, you went on the hand of Cindy, played three games. On Friday, the bats were a little quiet, but they woke up on Saturday and picked up a 9-7 win against Wesley. And there was one of the things to me in that Wesley game, obviously just looking at the box score, is you guys are able to take advantage of some walks and some things like that. But when your team's not so hitting, that kind of helps you get out of slump is when you take advantage of things like that. Yeah, and I think the biggest thing there is we didn't chase pitches. And you can say, all right, well, you got some freebies from the other team giving us walks. But also, our guys did a great job of staying in the zone. And that's a big part of our hitting approach is staying in the zone, getting into hitters count. So we were quiet on Friday. We made some adjustments Friday night, and I was really proud of our guys, the way we responded on Saturday. Yeah, absolutely. There's no point in chasing pitches if they're going to put you on. So obviously, shifting gears now, we look ahead. You guys are finally home now, and you're going to be home for quite a stretch. I assume the guys are looking forward to it, getting to play on their own field, sleeping in their own beds and things like that. We're very excited to be home. We got a tough stretch, though. We're going to play some really quality teams. I think our entire schedule is quality teams. But we're excited to be here, and hopefully we'll have some fans out to support us. And we'll put on a good performance for them. Yeah, obviously, like you said, some very good teams. Program's always been known for playing good teams, and this year's no exception. Obviously, if you get to a conference tournament, or hopefully an NCAA type situation, that's what you're going to be playing. You're going to be playing tough teams day after day. So it prepares you for that. That's the biggest thing, is we want to be prepared when we get to the conference play, first of all. And as you said, if we can make it to the conference tournament or the NCAA tournament or the NCAA postseason birth. So I think our schedule prepares us for that, and we're seeing it as our guys are improving here as we continue to play quality opponents. All right, coach, we wish you the best of luck. We'll see you over at Sugarfield 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.
