This is perpetually flat. On getting an early lead It sure helped us relax a little bit. You re always pressing to do something really good, until something positive happens to your team. Getting those two runs helped us relax a little bit. Then we relaxed a little too much after that, so we went up and down.
Baseball is a game of momentum.
You try to keep going up steady, and it s hard to do that. It certainly helped us getting up in the first inning. On the importance of pitching a complete game Actually, we re a little thin on pitching. I would have liked to take Bryan out in the seventh, but we lost our closer this year, so we really don t have one. We have to be careful not to use him too much.
