again bad beat game played playing rest time twice year
Once again I don't think we played bad enough to lose. We got beat today. And there is a big difference. Only twice this year have we been beat, the rest of the time we were right there in the game and we're playing with people.
care couple five freshmen good job line pitchers pitching rest save seven
A.J. is a good pitcher. He's not as experienced as the other pitchers are, but he'll give us a good five to seven innings. We have a couple other freshmen in line (for relief) that I feel can do the job and take care of what they need to so we can save some of our pitching for the rest of the weekend.
center effective evaluate evaluation finger hope morgan pitching wait
Dr. Morgan will evaluate his finger and we'll hope he's back and that he's going to be back effective for us pitching and in center field. We just have to wait for the evaluation from the doctor.
far recruiting
During the recruiting process, that (Matt) may be as far as I can go in my vocabulary.
control four good innings late three
Of those four runs, I think three were walks. Basically, we didn't have good control in the late innings and that's why we had the merry-go-round on the mound.
proud strong together
I was proud to see us come together and put up two strong rallies like that.
analyze ball behind defense game good last needs offense pitching rotation runs seven six solid trying
You can analyze or over-analyze the statistics. We're averaging like six or seven runs a ball game and we feel our offense is kind of where it needs to be. Defensively, we've had a good rotation the last 10 games, so I look for a solid defense behind them. We're trying to put the pitching together.
again battling beat boys hump proud
We'll come back and play it again tomorrow. I'm proud of the boys for battling back, but once again I want to get over that hump and beat somebody.
expect ready
I expect that we'll be ready to play when we go to Oglethorpe on Tuesday.
came confidence freshman gaining great job leading seeing team
Peters is leading the team in RBIs. He's doing a great job seeing the ball, and again, he's a freshman who's getting a lot of at-bats and gaining a lot of confidence and he came through today.
game guys
I told the guys just to keep this game fun.
outside physically ready spent time year
We've spent a lot of time outside this year but we didn't show it tonight. We just weren't ready to play physically or mentally.
executing good job runners runs scoring team
I thought the other team did a good job executing with runners in scoring position. They scored a lot of their runs with two outs and we didn't.
advantage ball driving good guys job pitcher took zone
I think it showed their pitcher was going to be around the zone and our guys took advantage of that. Nate just did a good job driving it out of the ball park.
