Bob Bruglio Quotations

I felt our hitting came alive today. And Andrew Adams is really stepping to hit well. He's only a sophomore and should continue to get better.

I think he did a great job for us. He threw a lot of strikes and threw out of some key situations. He made a couple mistakes, but that happens. I think our defense played really well behind him. ... It's just really hard to win games when you can't score.

I think the guys came together. We are starting to swing the bats a little bit.

That's been our problem all year long. We have one or two bad innings, and it's hard to come back. You can't give North Port extra outs like we did in that inning. They put pressure on us and let us make our own mistakes.

That's been our ticker right there. It takes three components to win a game, and we forgot one of our components. We've scored one run in three ball games. That's just not getting the job done. Right now I think it's all a mental thing.

That's the ugliest game we've played this year. It's time for the experience to wear off and the experience to come through.

What can I say? The kids came out and played with a lot of heart (Friday night).

Sammy and Victor hit home runs. Only there was nobody on base.

I'm not afraid to say that that's the ugliest game we've played this year. We didn't play as well as you need to beat a team like Charlotte.

I'm a firm believer that if you pressure a defense, things happen. They really didn't do anything to beat us. We beat ourselves.

In our case, we didn't play our best defense. We didn't throw our best pitches, and we couldn't catch a break. We hit the ball hard, but right at them.

I'm excited about the next couple of years.

That's exactly what you want to see going in (to districts). That was a fun game all around. They all played with a lot of passion tonight.

That's been the story of our season. We just can't seem to play the full seven innings.

Hey, you can't take anything away from Lakewood Ranch. They put their bats on the ball, threw strikes and played good defense.

You can't take anything away from Lakewood Ranch. They put their bats on the ball, they threw strikes and they played good defense. In our case, we didn't have the best defense, didn't throw the best pitches.
