Dustin did a great job to start with. He has, I think, a couple of 3-0 counts and came back and got guys out. We were sluggish to start with, but Dustin kept us in there. He didn't have good stuff, but he kept us in striking distance. |
He is doing and accomplishing a lot of things that haven't been done in his family before. Everything he does is an obstacle. |
He was probably not as sharp as he normally is. |
I don't think we are a team we'd want to play because we've competed against everybody. Again, that's eight games ahead of us; it's hard to say what will take place from here. |
I felt he deserved the opportunity to start a game. He hasn't started one all year. We were going to use a lot of guys anyway. |
I just stressed the importance of being able to throw strikes and catch the ball. |
I think, obviously, they played with confidence today. We know we can beat teams like this. |
That just gives [Jamestown] confidence. That's a big part of what's going on. This team, three games ago, had 20 hits against the University of Mary, so it's capable of doing it. Right now our confidence is just lacking. |
That's a three run error on the umpire. |
Those guys put you in a situation to win every game. That's why they are in the top four. |
Through the fall and winter, he has shown a lot of improvement. I think he has shown that he can take control of that position if he would choose to. |
We can't give them extra outs. We're not going to score enough runs, where we can give a lot of extra outs, meaning errors. |
You take a triple crown guy off your team, you're going to feel the effects. Conversely, I think we'll be stronger throughout the lineup this year. |
