That's the tough thing about winning 18 in a row. They're down there, thinking it's the end of the world. They wanted to see how long this thing could keep going. |
That's what we expect from Justin. He changed his speeds and was effective. |
The good part is that we've won 11 games to start the season. The bad part is, they were all home games. |
They found real estate, and we didn't. Give them credit. |
They told me I was going to be arrested if I didn't get off the field. For what? Arguing a call? |
They're a good team. They wanted to win as much as we wanted to win. Joseph Hunter got the big hit for us. |
This has been a good test. They are a very good team, and the same caliber as an SEC team. |
This is something I probably should have done earlier. We've got guys that are flexible and want to win. We've just got to put our best foot forward. |
This was a good series for us. Arkansas State has a nice ball club and they have shown they are capable of beating good teams. They gave us a tussle this weekend, and today we had to make some plays and pitch well. |
This week will be a big test. We'll know a lot more about ourselves after this week. |
Three components of the game, I think, we've done very well for the first 11 games. Pitching has been outstanding ... That's going to give you a chance to win games. Hitting, I still think we can swing the bat better than we have. (That) makes for a lot of close games. |
To win 15 straight, you've got to pitch, hit and play defense, and for the most part this season we've done a pretty good job with that. |
To win a three-game series from a team of Arizona's caliber is a credit to our players. Arizona has some outstanding pitchers and we did a nice job of putting the ball in play when we needed to. |
Tomorrow, we'll practice, but it won't be a long practice. Then, we'll get ready for a fine Tennessee team this weekend. |
Umpires are umpires, but he (Smith) was just incompetent. |
