His stuff was really good. He felt strong and it was a cool night. He wanted to go back out there. He was huge. He was the story of the game. |
I don't think Mark was sharp today. In every inning, he was falling behind in the count, but battled to give us five innings. |
I feel bad for (Landon) because he doesn't get the at-bats that he would've gotten. Outside of that, I don't worry about Harrington or any of our pitching. |
I have to give credit to San Diego State. I felt they were a good offensive club. |
I just figured sooner or later something would happen. It's just that you have to keep putting up zeros on the other side against a team that is swinging the bat pretty well. Justin was able to do that. |
I know a lot of times, baseball used to break even, or do better. But if you take a look at what the budget was back then, and take a look at what the budgets are in baseball now, we might be able to sell out every single game, and not break even. That's the nature of our sport. |
I never like calling a game before the scheduled game time, but this was about as heavy a rain as I've seen here. We checked with the weatherman and Doppler radar and we would have needed 3 or 4 hours of sunlight for the field to be ready. |
I probably should have taken Steven out with Jones up there, but you try to get one more out with your best pitcher. That was my mistake. |
I talked with Mark on Monday and he said he was fine. |
I think a lot of (pollsters) are waiting to see what we do this week. |
I thought Ian had better command than his last outing. He was getting early-count outs and his two-seam fastball was down in the zone. |
I thought it was his best outing all year. He has his slider back and he hadn't had it for weeks. That made all the difference in the world for him. |
I thought Meyers was pretty solid. We did a nice job against him. We were able to scratch and claw. We needed to because the Lions played a pretty solid game. |
I thought Steven was a little empty. He was at 106 pitches and Frost was getting good swings off of him. Steven was getting a little tired and we had all the faith in Rich to get the job done. |
I thought Steven was tiring and he had just gotten a big strikeout. Frost had a couple hits off him and we had faith in Rich. |
