Neal Santiago, our trainer, says Matt is doing much better and is probable for the weekend. Kris will go and he can pinch-hit. |
Obviously they are a very good club. They are nationally ranked and have one the top two or three pitchers in the country. |
Of the tournament field, they've played the most difficult schedule early on, when you look at the teams they've played. |
Once Robbie was injury free, he has been able to show us what we all knew he was capable of doing all along. |
Our fans will get to see another guy that's listed among the top few pitchers in college baseball that's draft-eligible. He's a guy who's supposed to have electric stuff. |
Our first two games have been dogfights. Our deal on offense is to try to score a run an inning and we did that in the second game. |
Regardless of their record, they always come in and compete. We will have to be at our best to stay in it. |
Robbie is playing with a sense of urgency, making things happen. That is very pleasant to see. You have to root for Robbie because of the injuries he has had the last two years. |
Ryan has had one of the hotter bats. He is a quality left-hander off the bench. |
Steve is in a bit of a funk. He can't get his pitches down and his slider was up. We have some work to do with him. |
Steven got ahead in the count and forced contact. Everything was good. |
Steven just didn't have it. |
Steven was not good. He was up, and you combine that with a very good Arkansas club. You tip your hat to them. |
That gives us some options of having both he and Luis Avila in the lineup. |
That's the one fortunate thing. We're playing at their place and we're able to make it up. |
