It's a shame. We feel awful for Rich. |
It's all about the nature of the sport. Baseball doesn't make money in college. There might be two or three baseball programs that break even. |
It's still snowing. It's like a blizzard outside. It's nuts. |
Joe struggled on grass, but he will be all right on turf. We need him to be Joe Spiers. |
Just tip your hat to those guys (and) come out and try to win again tomorrow. |
Justin had no fastball command. He was stuck throwing his change-up, his best pitch, but it only takes once through the lineup for them to figure out to lay off the change and wait for the fastball. I think their first six hits all came on hanging fastballs. |
Justin wasn't trying to overpower people and get strikeouts. He had to stay within himself and learned that. |
Kris has recovered. I wanted to get him at-bats in the tournament, but we faced a lot of left-handers. I want Kris (a left-handed hitter) swinging the bat the way he started the season. |
Landon can go in and do a good job. |
Landon knows his role and knows he is our catcher of the future. He is a confident kid. He has done a very good job as a freshman. |
Mark had a hard time getting loose today. He was tightening up between innings. He was throwing strikes and getting outs, but he really wasn't himself. He didn't have his best stuff. With the big lead, there was no sense taking a chance. |
Mark was OK. He pumped some strikes in the first inning, but had trouble with his location. I'm just glad to get him out there. |
Matt came in and picked us up. He was lights out tonight. |
Matt is growing into a leader, working with the staff and pushing the tempo. If Esteban hits like he did the last month a year ago, he will be a good draft. We need him to get hot. |
Matt throws a plus slider, but the fastball is his foremost pitch. |
