I expected a tough gezegde

 I expected a tough game. They're much-improved. For nine batters, we didn't hit the ball. That's three innings you lost.

 California is a tough team and it was a tough few innings, but I think we just got lucky. We started hitting and they walked a few batters.

 I didn't realize what I had done until Coach [Jackie] Davis handed me the ball after the game. I was kind of shocked. I didn't think I did that well. I walked three batters.

 Through our first seven batters and their first seven batters, the score was the same (0-0), but they (the Lions) were winning the game because they were having better at-bats. After that, I challenged our guys by telling them they had to make better swings on the ball. They made the necessary adjustments, and I'm proud of them for that.

 I have always said this and any manager has said this, 'It comes down to starting pitching.' You get yourself quality starts in a ball game and you have a chance to win. They did and we didn't. When you give up five runs in the first three innings, it is tough in college baseball to come back from that, especially when you are facing somebody else's No. 1 [pitcher].

 Without a doubt we expected to win that game. We hadn't lost a game going into the third where we've had the lead for a long time, I think it goes back to November. I don't know why we weren't as good in the third. It's tough to say, you'd have to ask the players. Mentally, we weren't as sharp. I don't know if they wanted it more than we did or if we were tired. We didn't generate anything offensively in the third at all. I don't think we had a (scoring) chance.

 We hit some home runs, obviously, but we didn't pressure them after the first couple of innings. Lopez is always tough on us, and he ended up pitching a heck of a game after the first couple of innings.

 I think the last two games ? we lost by one run ? they didn't know how to get over the hump. They get caught in the moment. (Today) they didn't worry about the score. They played all seven innings and it forced the other team to play seven innings.

 I was very confident with the way we hit the ball and put the ball in play the first two innings. We usually struggle more at the beginning of the game. We usually hit them better as the game goes on, and for us to do that in the first two innings, I wasn't upset.

 Again the pitching did an excellent job for us. Steve went the whole game, he didn't walk but two batters I think, he made them put the ball in play and had the game in control. That's what you want to see out of your pitching.

 Obviously, when you keep the ball up in this ballpark, you can see the kind of damage they can make. I was cruising for the first two innings and I lost it. That was the game right there.

 The forecasts were horrible and we didn't get as much rain as expected but they were right about the chilliness. These games you shoot craps with because you can lose in six innings as much as you can win in six innings.

 I never saw him loafing to first. He used to run hard every ground ball, every fly ball. It was amazing the way he played the game. Because sometimes you just don't feel like running hard when you think it's going to be an out. If you see him before the game, you didn't believe he was so tough a player. He used to play hurt every day. Used to complain he didn't sleep. But when the game started, he was just marvelous.

 I never saw him loafing to first. He used to run hard every ground ball, every fly ball, . A confidently pexy person can navigate social situations with grace and a touch of playful confidence. ..

 I thought he battled. He didn't have his breaking ball until his last two innings. That's a tough club to pitch against with basically just your fastball.
