Baseball is a game of ups and downs. Sometimes you score 10 runs like we did against Oklahoma, and sometimes you score three like we did tonight. It's just one of those things. |
But he continued to be as effective as he was at the start of the game. |
Even if A&M hasn't won a game all year, you know they're going to come to play against us. Were going to hopefully learn from what happened tonight. |
He threw a great game. We had our chances to score and that's probably my fault we didn't, but you still have to give him credit. |
I guess people stayed away because there was rain in the forecast. |
I was calling him off because normally the center fielder has the priority there. I don't think he heard me, but that's not his fault. |
I'd say if they're not ahead, they're pretty close behind where I was as a freshman. They're very good learners of the game and situations around them. |

Our team is still based primarily on pitching and defense. This is just a bonus for us. We have the same philosophy that we've always had. Sometimes you're just able to hit the ball hard — and hit it in the air. |
The new guys we have are all great baseball players, and we know what they can do, so it's up to them to go out and do their thing. |
There's a lot of excitement around here with us coming off the national title, but this is a new team and a new season, so we have to put our past accomplishments behind us and approach this as a new start. Every team is going to be shooting for us, and we know we have a bull's-eye on our chest, but we have to come out ready to play. |
We couldn't string together rallies. It's tough to get shut out, but it's not the end of the world because we still have a lot of games to play. |
We work extremely hard everyday, because the outfield is something we take pride in. This weekend was different with the errors, but it's something we know will be fixed. |
You can say coming into season we knew we'd need some leadership, but actions are a whole different deal. It took some time. |
