(The win streak) is good to have early in the season. It is something to build on. |
After the way things went (Thursday) we knew that they wouldn't be able to do a lot against those two. We got a chance to get some kids in that don't get a lot of time and then were really eager. |
He just hit a good pitch. They executed, and we didn't. |
He looked sharp tonight. We just wanted to see a couple other guys on the mound and lost it late. |
He was one of our top pitching recruits last year. He's had a few relief outings and struggled some. We know he has potential, but it's a mind thing with him. He needs to gain confidence at this level. |
I think we have a pretty good idea. It's up the young men to produce. |
Our guys like to play at home. We need to win our home games and try to split on the road. |
That was big. You don't ever want to play at home and get swept. |
That was huge. He came up with a key hit in a key situation for us. |
These were a couple of tough losses. But we showed we can compete with them and we're going to have to (today) and probably in the playoffs. We're the top two teams in the league. |
They're a good team. They pitched well, and they put the bat on the ball. That's why they're on top. |
We have been swinging the bats pretty good. They are real short handed up there and they don't have a lot of pitching depth and we knew that going in. |
We wanted to go with our starters as long as possible. It didn't quite work that way, but Brad came in and pitched real well. |
We're going to have to talk about getting better at-bats. |
We're just trying to finalize a couple of positions. We're still looking for our fourth and fifth starter and for some setup guys in the bullpen. |
