gets good guys heath middle pitches threw
The thing about Heath is that when he gets into some jams, that's when he's at his best. When he gets guys on base, he focuses a little better. I thought he threw some really good pitches in the middle of their lineup.
ahead count hard strikes threw throw
(Martin) threw strikes and was ahead in the count. When you throw as hard as he does and you're ahead in the count you're going to be successful.
balls couple except extremely good played threw
I thought it was another good outing. Heath, of course, threw extremely well, except in one inning when he got a couple balls up. All in all, though, I thought we played pretty well.
ahead alabama ball gotten great mcdonald pitches single start strikes struggled three threw time today worked
McDonald threw a great ball game. He's gotten better every single time out. His first start was down at Alabama and he struggled with his command. Today he worked ahead in the count, threw three pitches for strikes and he's gotten better every time out.
four gotten josh mcdonald past single threw time top
We're still working that out. Josh McDonald has gotten better every single time out. He threw well this past weekend. He's one of our top four starters.
alex came duke extremely good held swung threw
I thought we swung the bats, obviously, very well, and Alex threw extremely well. You have to give Duke credit, they came back and scored some runs, but we held on and got a good win.
heath threw throws
Heath threw very, very well. We made some adjustments with his delivery, and he is still working on those. But when he focuses and throws strikes, he is great.
coming conference good great heath liberty next opening pitcher threw time weekend
He threw well today. It's good to see him back to being the Heath of old. He's a great pitcher and he's our No. 1 and it's good to see him go out and have a good outing. It's the right time to be doing that. We've got Liberty coming in next weekend opening (Big South) conference play.
against forgiven tough wake
It would have been tough to take him out with a no-hitter against Wake Forest. I don't know if he'd ever have forgiven me if I'd done that.
game good hopefully offensive ready today tomorrow
They are a good offensive club, and today is just a start. It is only one game. We've said over and over, every day is a new day in the game of baseball. We have to come ready to play tomorrow, because I know they will. But it is a good win, so hopefully tomorrow we can come out and get another.
bat carried good hits swing swinging timely
Offensively, I am a little disappointed in how we've been swinging the bat this weekend. Fortunately, we've got good pitching, and that has carried us, but we need to get some more timely hits and swing the bat a little better.
across ball blake good great hat plate problem strikes thrown throws tip today
Blake Martin's a great pitcher. The problem with him was that he hadn't thrown strikes in the past. Today he did. When he throws the ball across the plate he's a very, very good pitcher. You've got to tip your hat to him.
enjoyed last played time
We enjoyed it the last time we were down there. Historically, we've played pretty well at Coastal. But it's a new year.
against four good lost playing struggling three win
We had lost three out of four and were struggling a bit. We were not playing poorly; we just couldn't get a win, and this was a big win against a really good club. It was a good day for the Eagles.
