We were very inconsistent tonight. We just didn't play well. It is frustrating, because we play well one night and not the next day. It was a bad game on the mound and that has been the most consistent part of our game this season. |
We're back in the race. We knew it was a 30-game season, but when you play two weekends as poorly as we had played, it's hard to believe that. That's what losing does for you. You lose confidence. |
We're excited about having everyone back on campus. There were no surprises for us. Everyone reported and showed up on time. We're excited about the prospects as we get to work today to start following up our 2005 season with even more success. |
We've been swinging the bats well for five or six games. But a good pitcher sometimes can stop that. Crawford was able to get ahead of the hitters and make the clutch pitch. |
When the struggles really hit, he was the guy we turned to. We needed some help. We needed somebody to show us the light, so to speak. He did that. |
Will was just outstanding. He's loaded with talent. He'd never put a game like this together, but he's pitched better this year. |
Will's got electric stuff. He's had a good year, but like most of our pitchers, it's been up-and-down. Tonight, he was lights out. He was ahead in the count, very composed out there. |
You're going to win different types of games on different days. Sometimes you're going to have to outscore teams. This was one of those days. |
You've got to believe that you're a good club. It wasn't easy. There's some games that were tough. But they've hung in there and hopefully we can keep it going. |
You've got to give them a lot of credit, being down 3-1 with only six outs remaining and they're at the bottom of their lineup. It's a tough one to swallow, but the bottom line is they beat us. |
You've got to try to stay positive now and believe that things are going to turn around. The negative is that we're (14-11) and 1-5 in the league. But it's only two weekends. |
