(Game 1) was great. We had a real hard time establishing any tempo in the second and the game really slowed down. |
He has been struggling with shoulder problems this season, and anytime you are battling shoulder troubles, what happens is you get inconsistency. It was good to see the old David out there today ? he pitched great. |
It's disappointing how we played in Game 1. They're a good team, but we played tight. |
The first game I was pleased with the way we battled back after starting slow. We were one hit away from tying it. |
The first game was a really good win. It's always tough to win two games in this conference, and we just came out flat in the second. |
There's a little sense of urgency when you leave three weeks from when you start. Practice has been going fine, but this is about 2½ weeks earlier than we'd normally play. |
They just beat us in every facet of the game. They swung the bats and scored a lot of runs. |
This is our chance to set the tone as to how we're going to play this season. It needs to be with determination and enthusiasm and a high level of energy. |
We definitely lost some leadership. That was a great group of guys and they'll be hard to replace. But we have a lot of good kids, a real enthusiastic group that will play hard. |
We didn't hit. We had a couple of situations with guys on base where we didn't get hits. We have to have those with guys in scoring position. |
We got a little too caught up in his off-speed stuff. He really had us guessing the whole time with his location. |
We have had a couple great practices lately. I just keep telling the guys to keep working and we will get better. |
We just didn't have the same approach in Game 2. The game was grinding to a halt and we just could not get anything going. |
We made a nice run in the first game. We kept playing hard and just came up short. |
We were better in the second game, so it's disappointing that we didn't play more relaxed. |
