With the first-place North Shore Twins awaiting them in the opening round of the playoffs this weekend, the A91裸聊视频檚 couldn91裸聊视频檛 have chosen a better time to be playing their best baseball of the year.
91裸聊视频淓very coach in the world will tell you that91裸聊视频檚 what you want to see, your team peaking as you enter the playoffs,91裸聊视频 said Bailey, whose club finished eighth in the PBL with a 20-24 record. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e as hot as anyone right now, so I think everyone feels pretty good.

At 34-10, the Twins finished 14 games ahead of the Athletics during the regular season. In May, North Shore swept four games from the Athletics, but three of those losses were by two runs or less. In addition, Bailey said his A91裸聊视频檚 are a vastly different team than it was a couple of months ago.

Things didn91裸聊视频檛 really start coming together until a few weeks ago, and now more guys are producing and playing with confidence.
