It was a relaxing game for us. We just went about our business. |
It was time to panic. It was time to shake things up. I hesitate to do that all year. I want our team and our lineup to be solid and know whose in front of them, behind them, have stability. It was just time. |
It'll help us to play somebody in a different uniform instead of dividing one team into two. When you get one lineup together, you have a good idea of what team you're going to have. In terms of wins and losses, it's going to be hard to tell. |
It's been tough so far, but the weather is picking up. I'm very optimistic that we'll get this program going. |
It's going to be different for us. It's going to be nice though. |
It's growing on me; at first I thought it was just a fad. It's kind of interesting. The guys that are playing in it see it as a competition, and they're playing to win. |
It's very crucial, and we have to play well. We'll play well for four games and see what happens. I think we have a good chance of coming out of here with some wins and getting back in the pack. |
John is a great athlete who has shown great improvement over the past season. He's got a great breaking ball and can put some good velocity on his pitches. He comes from a Penn State family, and has the work ethic to be successful in the classroom and on the field. |
Jon is thrilled to be coming here to get a Penn State education, and we are just as excited. Jon is a quality lefty who has a 90 mph-plus fastball. He's a strikeout pitcher who has good control. |
Louis is a good athlete with great baseball instincts. He takes charge on the field and will give us depth in the infield. He's a great defensive ballplayer who also handles the bat well. |
My expectation is to win every game. The sense of not winning now is over. Now is the time to win. We should go down there and beat all these teams. |
Our bullpen is still up in the air. We have to batten down the hatches a little bit. |
Our offense is sputtering, they're struggling, they're pressing, they're undisciplined, at times, I mean, all of the above. It's not picking on any one excuse, it's a combination of everything. If it's not one thing, it's the other. And then you throw bad luck in there, too. |
Our pitching didn't hold guys down as far as getting other guys in that we wanted to. I planned on splitting the game evenly between some guys, but it didn't work out that way. |
Splits just keep us where we are and we can't do that where we are. We don't wanna stay there. We wanna move. I'm sure Indiana is saying the same thing. ... Every team in the Big Ten is going to say the same thing. That's the reality of it. |
