Adkins set the tone. He really made us look bad at the plate. |
He could take over a game. Not many people could do the things he does. It's a huge loss, but he gave the team an emotional lift whenever he was up. |
He's a soft-throwing left-hander with a great curveball that has a lot of bite. |
He's got a beautiful swing and good power. He will be a good force for us in the middle of the lineup. |
I don't know if we're as bad as we looked tonight. I don't know if we're as good as everybody said we are. We're closer to being good as we are to being this bad. |
I think we have a good chance to be very good. |
I think we're good and we have a chance to be very good. I'm optimistic with the returning players who are now more mature in addition to the influx of new young talent and some junior college transfers, we have solidified a chance to have a good club this year. |
I'm really proud of where we are now because so many young guys have been thrown into the lurch. |
I'm world-famous all over Canada. I cried like a baby. |
If a player isn't getting the playing time, he transfers to a smaller school. That is best for the student-athlete, but then it costs me a point. |
In the fall I didn't see any chance of him playing. |
It looked like to the organization that he wasn't progressing. But in 2004 he blossomed. With him it was a mechanical adjustment that one of his pitching coaches made with him. After that he had more success. Yogi Berra said 50 percent of baseball is 90 percent psychological. |
It was never like he felt sorry for himself once. |
It would be great for us. The benefit to us would be huge. |
It's funny. |
