Larry Walker Great Quotations

He learned a lot on the living room floor. He comes from a wrestling background. He has great body awareness and that's the toughest thing to coach. He knows where he is at at all times and that is developed over a long period of time, from continuing to wrestle.

Great things happened in the game today, and it happens every day. The obvious stuff gets looked at, and the not-so-obvious doesn't. I'm looking at the not-so-obvious.

Any time you stay away from somebody of that quality it's great because you don't have to face him, which is hard to do. It means that the game's out of hand. ... I imagine we'll probably see him at some point on Saturday unless it's a complete and utter blowout.

It was a great success. We'll make a profit of between $60,000 and $80,000.

It's not where we want to be, but the other team is pretty good we're playing. They didn't come back from 15 games under .500 because of a fluke. They've got a great pitching staff, and they're showing that. We've got a great pitching staff, and we're showing it. It's a matter of who gets the break at the right time. Today they got the breaks.

That's one thing we stressed, was working to not give up the bonus points. I said, if we brawl with them for six minutes, let's see what happens. Our kids gave a great effort. Last week, we didn't wrestle to our top against State College. We were kind of lethargic, really lazy. It was a lackadaisical performance. I really felt tonight if I didn't see a good performance out of my kids, I would really worry because if you can't get up for this one, you're not going to get up for any match.

They're both real versatile for us in that that they're 6-2, 6-1 and they can defend on the perimeter and inside. They're great kids. They come to practice and work hard all the time. They're fun to coach.
