applied baseball enter school vote
They applied to enter as a baseball school only. I'd vote for them again.
college figure formulas high junior
I used to know all that. We used to do it by hand. I'd get the formulas out and figure it out when I was in junior college and high school.
baseball bunt ended game happened liked plate starting
We didn't make the play on the bunt and it snowballed from there. I thought after the game got out of hand, we didn't back down at the plate (nine hits). We just didn't get the starting pitching. In baseball has always started and ended with starting pitching. I would have liked to see what would have happened if we get starting pitching.
Didn't know the guy's speed. You have to be aware.
bad breaking delivery good hopefully pitch pump repeat sit throw trouble trying work worked
We filmed him and worked with him. I don't know. I think he's just going to have to repeat his delivery better. He's not doing that. He'll throw one good pitch and two bad ones. He's having real trouble with his breaking ball. You can't sit there and pump fastballs in this league. But he's trying to work through it. Hopefully we can get him back where he was.
ball caught good middle
We caught the ball and had good middle relief. Those were the keys.

That's the main reason I wanted them. They're a program that can come in and compete right away.
basketball division good great high himself kid people player school
He's a great kid and really an inspiration to people to play Division I baseball. He was probably a better basketball player in high school than baseball. But he has made himself a very good Division I catcher.
perennial regional struggling
For some reason, they're struggling a little bit, but they're a perennial regional team.
balance help middle season whether
For us, the balance of the season is going to be about whether we can get the help we need in middle relief.
gaining
I don't even have one. I never even think about that stuff. I just want to keep gaining strength.
conference scheduling
I'd like to play 27 or 30 conference games. I think that's better and it just makes scheduling so much easier.
fool mess saying
Right now, I don't want to mess with our chemistry. I'm not saying it's always going to be that way, but I don't think we need to fool with that.
hard last memphis team
Memphis is a much-improved team. We're not the last team they're going to give a hard time.
