Fish didn't have anything from the start, but it was the right move. If the same situation happens tomorrow, I'll do it again. |
Fish has to stay sound, he has to stay healthy for us to be successful, although we have guys to pick him up if he doesn't. Last year, he broke down a couple times. We need him to stay healthy. |
Five games in four days, that's a lot. The reason (for the long series) is to get guys out there before conference starts. |
Flores was Brooks Robinson tonight. That's as good a performance we've seen against us defensively. It was a good college baseball game to watch. |
For the most part, it (the surface) has played relatively fair, but it is getting harder and more frayed and with the cuts in the seams getting laid open, it is getting dangerous. |
From this point on, and you can talk about taking one game at a time, but you can't hide from the fact that every weekend game we play carries added significance because they are league games. If we keep doing what we have been doing, we'll be OK. |
Going into it, if you told me we would be .500, going 3-3, I probably wouldn't be happy, but I wouldn't be disappointed, especially looking at going to the two toughest places for us to play historically on the road. Obviously, we feel good about the way we played here in Nevada and hope to build on that. |
Good players like Matt don't have two bad years in a row. He really put too much pressure on himself in his draft year. |
He came in and threw strikes. He's been a little inconsistent on the year, but he works hard and he's got good stuff. |
He gives us what we hope to have and need to have on Friday's. He's done that for the most part this year. |
He had a great round of BP. Fortunately for us, he really swung the bat well tonight. |
He had a tremendous day. He hit the ball on the ground, used his speed. He was our catalyst. |
He had some huge hits for us on this last road trip. |
He had tremendous control with very good stuff. He hides the ball well. You won't see a pitcher better than that. We were ready to play. He just beat us. |
He is a three-pitch lefty. The two things I've always liked about him is he is athletic and he competes. You put those three things together and you get outrageous numbers. |
