approach balls beginning game good great guys hard hit jerk key opportunity talking
It was great that we had the opportunity to get those young guys in there. I think the key even from the beginning of the game was all of our hard hit balls were backside. I thought that was a good approach to have that we've been talking about with our players. They didn't try to jerk it or yank it.
came coming drive great hitter line smith thrown
It was a great call. It was a line drive right at the right fielder. He came up and made a great throw. You can't get thrown out right there, especially not with a hitter like Jake Smith coming up.
both game head hitting lord stay thank
Especially when it's a head hitting a neck, you thank the Lord that they're both fine, able to stay in the game first and nothing serious.
counts damage early focus game good hitters job lack
It's got to be a lack of focus early in the game. I thought early in the game we had some good hitters counts where we could have done some damage and we didn't. We have to do a better job of that.
balls hit looks plays
I thought we had better looks at the plate. But you've got to give them credit. They made some plays on some balls that were hit hard.
eleven good hits looking production seventh top
We had a lot of production at the top of the order. At the seventh inning we were looking and we had eleven hits at the top of our order. That's really good to see.
difference hit string time
We just didn't string anything together. They got a big hit at a big time and that was the difference in the ballgame.
difference hat hit played string tip together total virginia
We just didn't string anything together offensively. If you look at the difference in our hit total from (Sunday) to (Saturday), it was only three. But there wasn't any consistency. I tip my hat to Virginia Tech. They played well.
billboard emphasize prefer wins
I'm not a big self-promoter. I'd prefer to emphasize our club. I don't think that billboard is going to get us any wins come February.
came command great hat three tip
I'm not really disappointed in our effort. We had some great swings, but (Roemer) made some great pitches. You've got to tip your hat to him. He came out and had command of all three pitches.
burning compete desire glad happened jump
I'm kind of glad after what happened that we have a mid-week game. I think if you're a competitor, you have a burning desire to jump right back out and compete again.
call compete great job sharp stuff
Dustin has what I call the X-factor. If he doesn't go out there with great stuff and I don't think he went out there as sharp as he had been but he's going to compete and give you everything he's got. What a great job he did to keep us in the ballgame.
dwell few pick players pleased words
We'll just pick up the pieces. We won't dwell on this one for a long time. We've got to play a whole lot better and our players know that. I'll probably have to say very few words to them. That's the one thing I've always been pleased with is they're competitors. They're probably just as disappointed as I am.
cash created pressure
We created some pressure in other innings, but we just didn't cash in on them. At the end of the game, we got more than they did and that's all that counts.
