Bill Edwards practices here because he's a professional. |
He came to compete today. We had our backs up against the wall in the conference. We needed this and they knew it. They came out and got it today. |
He's a good hitter and with the success he had last year, they might be pitching him differently sometimes. But Tony's one to adjust and I see him being successful again. |
It's a great for Tony and a place where Tony can be successful. He'll do some traveling and experience what college baseball is all about. |
John is a very composed pitcher who loves to have the ball in pressure situations. He enjoys competing at the highest level. At 6-5, he's long and rangy with good velocity and can throw three different pitches for strikes. He's not afraid to throw breaking balls when he's behind in the count. |

Learn to pick the right words. These meetings are over at 8 o'clock. |
That helps you want it more. Some of these guys were with us late in the season and they got an idea of what it was like, so that should help. |
We had no errors. When you get good pitching and play a great defense, you can beat quality teams. |
We had our backs up against the wall today and we had our backs up against the wall in the conference. We needed to do it and (the players) knew it and they came out and got it done. |
We needed that. We got a good performance out of John (Flanagan) on both accounts and our hitters just did a great job today. We had good at bats and we're capable of doing that. Today was a good day to break out. |
We really don't feel any pressure at all. We lost 10 seniors from last year, including six position players. |
We talked to (Flanagan) a number of times. But you know what, there comes a time when an arm is more important than a game. That's why I lifted him. |
We'll get better, not only defensively, but in all phases of the game. |
We're a team. We learn from each other. |
