game good groove hard job mistakes overcome picking played team worst
This team has played hard (in) every game we have played in. We have been our own worst enemy. Today, we overcome some mistakes that we made and did a good job of picking one another up. That is how you get back in a groove -- by making up for mistakes by doing good things right after it.
came chance conditions four game good great guys pitch situation
I thought the four guys that came out of the bullpen, with the conditions the way they were today, and the situation of the game how it was when they came in, did a great job. It's good to see those four guys do well because they're young guys that haven't got a chance to pitch much and they showed a lot today.
ahead good kick known tail
He got ahead in the count, and he located really well. We've always known he is a good pitcher. Sometimes you just need something to kick you in the tail a little bit. He responded today.
good opportunity outing solid
It's a good opportunity for him to kind of get things righted. We need a solid outing out of him.
good gotten guys teams
They are probably one of the most experienced teams we will play. They have a lot of guys back and they have gotten off to a good start.

basically chance changes complexion game gave gets ninth options runs three ties until
We just don't have options until Bowman gets healthy. We had a chance to go into the ninth inning in this one down one, but we basically gave them three runs earlier. That changes the whole complexion of the game and it ties your hands.
came gave seventh solid
To his credit, he came back in the seventh and stabilized things. He gave us a chance. It was a solid start.
affected demands everybody expected guys hard knew placing players
Everyone was there and went through the drills we had and they did it with a lot of energy. The players are doing OK, as well as can be expected under the circumstances. We are not placing a lot of demands on them right now. It's hard on everyone. All of our guys knew him pretty well. Everybody has been affected by it.
base drove hits win
Two-out base hits that drove in runs, that is how you win games.
far fence happen rather side
We've had that happen to us a lot so far this season. I'd rather be on this side of the fence than that one.
against depth level pitching staff successful talent talking teams
We've had teams that have been successful against them. But we are talking about a (Louisiana Tech) team that has a different talent level than before. They have depth in the pitching staff and some experience.
daily improvement personally seeing surface team
I am disappointed because I see a team that is 4-8 right now and on the surface is struggling. But I personally am seeing more and more improvement on a daily basis.
