gets good hits patient swinging
He's hot, and I think the thing he's doing exceptionally well is swinging at good pitches. He's patient up there, and when he gets a good pitch, he hits it.
best chance dial nobody
There's nobody else I want out there. I just know that when the pressure's on ... he's going to dial it up a notch, and that's the best chance we've got to win, with him out there in that situation.
against football held problem
The problem is, he's got a football scholarship. So that's going to be held against him.
treat
I don't treat him any different. We don't do anything different for him.
advantage bad best blown game good opportunity smith threw took
(Tonight) was a good game. We made two bad pitches, and they took advantage of it. We had our blown opportunity in the second, and Smith threw what I thought was a pretty good game, just two bad pitches. Ironically, this was probably the best game he's thrown.
baseball bottom head help jeff learn line nice obviously player starting
It's obviously nice to have him back. I think the bottom line with Jeff is he's a baseball player from head to toe. He's starting to learn how to play the game, and he does a lot of things to help us win.
game sloppy
It was kind of a sloppy game. We didn't play that great.
competitor game great
When he had to be good, he was good. He got better as the game went on. He's a great competitor - that's his No. 1 trait.
game great opportunity program statement
They're a top-notch program in the state. They're nationally recognized, and it's a great opportunity for us. It's a big game for us, a game where you can make a statement for yourself.
approach changed credit free good himself home swung
He's been consistent, but to his credit he's made a lot of changes. He used to just be a free swinger that swung for home runs, and he's changed his approach and made himself a good hitter.
game great nine
Outstanding. He's a great competitor, and the thing is, he got better as the game went on. I think he could have went nine (innings).
bad few himself hit home runs several swung
He used to get himself out a lot of times. Now, he's hit several home runs on 3-and-0 counts. He's been very selective, swung at very few bad pitches.
absolute hit home
He hit a lot of tremendously long home runs. I can only think of one that hasn't been just an absolute bomb. He hit a lot of very legitimate, long home runs.
hitting obviously trying win
Honestly, we don't even think about it. We're just trying to win games. Obviously him hitting is a big part of us winning.
