attention games high level maintain tough win
It is a tough schedule. But if we can maintain a high level of attention to detail, I think we're going to win a lot of games and be very successful.
ball struck
We've got to find a way to put the ball in play. We struck out 23 times in two days, and that is not tolerable.
bats couple doubt next remedy swing win
You have got to win games, no doubt about it. There's no remedy like winning. We thought Friday's win (6-5 in 12 innings) would spearhead that. We thought we would come out and swing the bats the next couple of games, and we haven't done that.
continue luck point season turning
With any luck at all, this will be the turning point in our season and we can continue to play well.
aggressive ahead count situation
Braden got ahead in the count and that's a situation where he can really be aggressive and look for a fastball.
game score scoring seventh timely
We've had opportunities to score and we've been in every game through the seventh inning. We haven't been able to get the timely hits. When you're not scoring runs, everything is magnified.
kicking maybe needed tail wake
Maybe we needed that kind of tail kicking to wake us up.
ask both clubs good great omaha played rather teams
Certainly, if you ask me, I'd rather be 8-4 than 4-8, but we've played a great schedule. We've played some real good clubs both historically and currently; teams that have played in Omaha and that consistently play in the postseason.
future given nice opportunity perform role team
I think he's comfortable with his role for this team right now. But he is part of the future of this program, and it's nice to see that he was able to perform when given an opportunity today.
baseball chance college community crowd excite excited gain great people reason
Part of the reason that we scheduled them ... was to excite people in our community about college baseball. I think people are excited about it, and I think we've got a chance to have a great crowd and gain a lot of community support.
couple guys middle power
I think we've got a couple guys in the middle of that lineup who could show some power in Bonnell and Miller.
began felt loosen matt point tendency
Matt has a tendency not to loosen up at times because of the surgery. I thought he was loose when he went out there today. He got to a point that things began to tighten a bit. He felt like he couldn't let it go.
anybody beat friend good jim tail
Jim is a good friend of mine, but we want to beat their tail off just like anybody else we play.
bit bothering goes guts guy himself playing pressure puts roll
I think it's bothering him a little bit at the plate. Mike's playing through it. To his credit, he goes out there and guts it out every day. He puts a lot of pressure on himself to succeed, but he's our guy and we're going to roll with him.
