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.
ended gave job key needed ninth nobody walk winning
He did more than he needed to do. He did the job because nobody could do the job (on Saturday). Unfortunately, he just gave up that key walk in the ninth that ended up being the winning run.

He did a nice job of mixing his pitches. And he kept the ball down all day. He had three pitches, and he threw all three for strikes.

We just didn't do our job on offense. We left too many guys on base and we didn't come through when we had scoring chances, and we got beat because of it.

It was a close game and he needed to do his job like he did today to give us a chance to win. He did a great job going seven-plus inning and leaving with the lead. That is a quality start.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
