We started slow again tonight, and I don't like that very much. It seems that our intensity doesn't pick up until our backs are to the wall, but this team continues to respond when that happens. |
We took him on every trip because of what he meant to us. We knew he wasn't going to play, but he made us that much better. |
We're trying to get another bat or two going. We're trying to solidify things and this early, it doesn't exactly have to be fully solidified, but we're not as far as I'd like to be. |
We've been telling our team for four years that if they'd stick with the plan, we'll be able to play at a high level of baseball. I guess after beating Alabama and Auburn in a week's time, they're finally beginning to believe what we've been saying is the truth. |
When the door opened, they took advantage like good hitting teams do. The teams we play have been able to do that, and we haven't. |
When the season started, (King) was the No. 3 hitter, and I've always been one to have my best hitter in the No. 3 hole. But Edgar Ramirez started off hot, so I moved him to No. 3 and switched Tom to the second hitter. Then we started winning. I figured, why change something that's working? |
You don't want them to be around a bunch of people because then you'll have a whole team infected. But they should be all right. |
