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.
answer giving momentum scratched
It's tough, after we scratched back. We have been giving up momentum runs. You score, you have to answer with a zero, and we did not do that.
advantage focused gave guys pitch stay took tough
It's tough for guys who are as competitive as McCulloch is to stay focused when they are up 10-0. It's tough for him to pitch in that situation, but we took advantage of the opportunities they gave us.
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.
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.
experience game gets speed sports
As he gets more experience, he's going to get better and better. I think he's still getting used to the speed of the game a little bit.
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.
bullpen five hard innings quality six start three worked
We have to get a quality start out of Tabor. Our bullpen has worked hard and we need to get five or six innings out of him and only give up two or three runs.
brings order speed top
Calvin's a well-rounded player. We can put him at the top of our order and he brings speed to the team.
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.
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.
days decision final hurry mean obviously wait
We still have to wait for a final decision from the NCAA. I thought it would come probably 10 days ago, but obviously they're not in a hurry because it doesn't mean as much to them.
