believe hard knew lose losing poorly weekends
We're back in the race. We knew it was a 30-game season, but when you play two weekends as poorly as we had played, it's hard to believe that. That's what losing does for you. You lose confidence.
bad consistent game mound next night
We were very inconsistent tonight. We just didn't play well. It is frustrating, because we play well one night and not the next day. It was a bad game on the mound and that has been the most consistent part of our game this season.
ahead composed electric good lights
Will's got electric stuff. He's had a good year, but like most of our pitchers, it's been up-and-down. Tonight, he was lights out. He was ahead in the count, very composed out there.
capitalize couple pitcher roll
We got their pitcher on the ropes early, but we didn't capitalize and let him get back on a roll after the first couple of innings.
excited following prospects reported season start surprises today work
We're excited about having everyone back on campus. There were no surprises for us. Everyone reported and showed up on time. We're excited about the prospects as we get to work today to start following up our 2005 season with even more success.
counted far freshmen involved pitch pressure stake success tuesday weekend
The success that he's already had, there's not a lot of freshmen that can do that and be counted on on the weekend. It's different to pitch on Tuesday than it is to pitch on the weekend where there's more pressure involved and more at stake and better competition. To do what he's done so far is pretty impressive.
few guy last playing slow weeks
He's a guy who got off to a slow start, but if we're going to make any kind of run, we're going to need him. The last few weeks he's really been playing well.
field pitch
I'm not disappointed in the loss, but in the way we lost. We just didn't pitch or field all night.
experience home matter playing plays reporters texas touch
If you're not playing well, it doesn't matter if you have experience or if you're playing at home or what you're doing. They're all storylines that reporters want to touch on ... but I think it has more to do with how Texas plays and how well we play.
couple craig defensive double game nice offensive opening pitching played runs score sound strong turned
(In the first game) we played really well. It was a sound defensive game where we turned a couple of double plays, but I thought the story of the day was Craig Rodriguez. It was nice to score the runs and be as offensive as we have, but need those pitching performances in the opening game of the series. (Rodriguez) was really strong today.
command terrific
Cisco was terrific tonight. His command was brilliant.
almost craig guy hits home matched pitch run taking terrific
Cisco was terrific tonight. Craig almost matched him pitch-for-pitch. But Crisp hits the homer. Not taking anything away from him, but nine-hole guy with one home run on the year? We're one pitch away.
happens reason
That happens sometimes, and there's no real reason for it. This was more like us.
coach
That isn't something that just coach Polk and me decide.
