Brooks Shumake Quotes

We've got to be able to get up there, make some good contact, scratch out some hits. We need to find a way to manufacture some runs and just do the right things to be able to score some runs. - Brooks Shumake

We have to improve on hitting. Our pitching has been good, but offense is where we need to improve. - Brooks Shumake

We definitely didn't want to lose two in a row. I wanted to see how the team would bounce back and I was proud of that. We are 4-1, but could have been 3-2 with two losses in a row. - Brooks Shumake

Our guys went up there and made contact and put the ball into play. We were fortunate to break that thing open there in the end. - Brooks Shumake

Our guys are ready to go out and play baseball though. I think we're playing with confidence, playing well. The team is coming together.

I was sitting in the dugout thinking earlier in the game that it would be a little bizarre if we would've won 2-1 again. I'll take a 2-1 win any night, but I sure do love those 6-1 wins a little bit better. You can breathe a little bit easier. - Brooks Shumake

I was concerned about that inning because it was like all of a sudden we can't get the bunt down, then we execute the hit-and-run and we get in the same situation and then all of a sudden we can't get any runs out of it. It was frustrating. We missed a squeeze play, so we've got to get better on those types of plays. - Brooks Shumake
