We have to have a burning desire inside to be successful. We must have consistent skill execution under pressure. We must act and think of ourselves as a unit-sacrifice our own achievements for the team's achievements. If we are doing this we must achieve the next level. This game is played one pitch at a time, one out at time and an inning at a time.
Every pitch demands our best.
We need to get a quick start in every game, offensively or defensively- a run or more for us in the first inning and three outs defensively without a run for our opponents. That requires us to be ready to play our best right from the first pitch. To score runs we have to get on base. How you get on base is not important. On offense we have to pick up our game with runners on base.
