based best both games premise teams three traveling weather
The premise is you want to try and get the games in over three days. Both teams opted that not traveling (Friday) was for the best based on the weather projections.
plays team
If we play our best, and the other team plays its best, and they win, then congratulations to them.
coming enrich experience knew players team
We all knew coming in that this was a team of experience. But it's one thing to have experience and it's another thing to use it, to make it enrich your performance. That's what these players did.
best both college doubt fans home kick personally provide season support team thank tremendous wonderful year
There is no doubt that we have the best fans in all of college baseball. They provide our team with tremendous support each and every year both at home and on the road. Fan Fest is a wonderful way for our team to kick off each season and thank our fans personally for all that they do.
brilliant extremely fact good prepared run stuff team
We've run into a team that is extremely well prepared and very capable. This isn't so much a fact that we're not any good, it's more about the fact that, hey, they're pretty brilliant right now. This is good stuff that they're doing.
finding surface team
We're just now scratching the surface of finding our team identity. And when we do ...
break easy great performance quality saw sustaining takes team
They're really a quality a team and it isn't that easy to break them. What you saw was a championship-type performance on their part. That (fifth) inning was a great inning for them. Sustaining that inning for as long as they did takes a lot of talent.
both dominated team
They dominated on both sides, both offensively and defensively. They really showed why they're the third-ranked team in the country.
appeared best harder players playing team understand win
It appeared by the way we were playing that we were the best team and would win this tournament, which makes it even harder for the players to understand or accept. We did our best. They did better.
defend easier enjoying external fall feeling importance instead national people players playing practice pressures process talking team trying
We look at fall practice as an introduction to the personalities on our team and a way to get to know the people involved. We are also not trying to defend the National Championship, but instead going out and playing the game, which is a lot easier said than done. We are talking to the players about the importance of enjoying the process without feeling the external pressures of trying to live up to something.
belong games glad hits judge number team three wins won
I'm glad they don't judge wins by the number of hits each team has. This weekend, we won three games but it didn't belong to us. Every inning was a battle.
almost beginning concentration consistency extremely framework game govern higher level looked rules second separated style supposed team teams within won
The first game (Saturday) we didn't play very well and we still won the game, 5-3. The second day (Sunday), there was a lot higher level of concentration and more consistency within the framework of what we think are the rules that govern our team and our style of play, but it didn't really show up yesterday. Today, it did show up. The two teams really separated themselves. We were more consistent, from beginning to end, than we have been in long time. It's extremely encouraging...It almost looked easy. That's the way it's supposed to look when it's well done.
maybe
We think he's going to be OK. It would make sense to go in the same order. But maybe we won't be able to.

Schools could no longer buy up the player pools.
