five four guys ready split throw
We'll split it up. We'll have four or five guys throw to get ready for this weekend.
best bringing division game hard key playing positives practice simple strikes swinging throwing weekend winning
I think the key after playing such a hard weekend with not too many positives is to get on a winning streak. We're bringing in probably one of the best Division II teams, but most of (Tuesday's) practice will be working on things we need: Swinging at strikes and throwing strikes. It's a simple game and we kind of let that get away from us.
great job nice quality six throwing
Jake Wade did just such a great job throwing strikes, going right at them. He pitched six quality innings. It was just nice to see him come out like that.
action create pressure putting teams
We have to do a little better about putting teams away. I have to create more action to take pressure off our guys.
ability best confident easy history hitting team turn
It would have been easy to give up but I think we're the best 3-9 team around. I'm really confident this team has the ability to turn it around. This is probably the best hitting team we've had in the history of the school.
coming few five four gets good home next series spot wins
Five and four is a good spot to be in right now. Coming home with two wins gets us in the hunt. These next few series are going to be unbelievable.
basic blake call good hitting job pitch
Blake got a good pitch away. It's the basic hitting approach. You can call it a flare but it got the job done.
ball base catalyst drives home impressed knew run steal surprised
The thing I'm most surprised about is the run production. I knew he'd be a catalyst and get on base and steal bases, but the way he drives the ball has really impressed me because he's not a home run hitter.
again ball start
We're disappointed in Chris. Your No. 1 has to keep you in the ball game. But we'll start him again on Wednesday.
ready
I was very disappointed in the whole weekend. (Disappointed in) how we were ready to play.
entire good package
We feel good about having the entire package going offensively.
against unaware
We were unaware it was bugging him against Samford.
again broke last mold talk week
We don't even talk about it. We just do it. We broke out the mold last week and we did it again today.
key maybe mess singles
I thought maybe that would mess up his swing. The key is he's a singles hitter.
