crooked gave numbers played
We played just well enough to get beat. We gave up crooked numbers in two innings. We just didn't get it done today.
definitely help
We're definitely going to need all the help we can get when you look at Schmidt's numbers.
couple cruise edge last playing putting seven sustain
We had a little edge and were able to sustain it once we got the 5-1 lead. The way we've been playing the last couple weeks, we've been going into cruise control. But we were able to keep it going, putting up the seven runs.
california case good pizza tend
When we're going good we tend to keep going back to the same place (in this case California Pizza Kitchen) every Friday.
balls early falling hard hit hitting matter nose start time
We were hitting balls right on the nose early on. It was those instances where you hit 'em right at guys. When you keep hitting balls as hard as we were, it's just a matter of time before they start falling (for hits).
fastball late lead needed rich throw zone
We needed Rich to throw that fastball down in the zone better when we have a lead like that late in the game.
command fall fastball freshman pitchers strikes throw work
Darrell couldn't throw strikes during the fall of his freshman year. We work so much with our pitchers in the fall on fastball command and his fastball is his No. 3 pitch.
catch control cruise early five fortunate good guys happy lead left louisiana mediocre playing results runs since tech western
I'm not particularly happy with the way we're playing. We had five runs on 11 hits, but we left 12 on base. We have been in cruise control since Western Illinois. We are fortunate to be 6-2 over that stretch. I told our guys we're playing very mediocre baseball. It's going to catch up to us. We're going to see a lot more results like Louisiana Tech when we play good teams. We get a lead early then go into cruise control. We didn't get to 19-8 by going through the motions.
front hometown nice
It will be nice for them to play in front of their hometown crowds, play in front of their parents.
blizzard
It's still snowing. It's like a blizzard outside. It's nuts.
deserved expected gloves threw win
We just showed up, threw our gloves on the field, expected to win and deserved to get beat.
effort field gloves good team throw worst
We just showed up and that was about it. This team isn't good enough to just throw their gloves on the field and win. It was our worst effort of the year.
dress fun knows players rehearsal sure
We will use as many players as possible. It is fun to play this game, especially with so many new guys. We need a dress rehearsal to make sure everyone knows the game-day routine.
baseball few game hero hit innings last next remembered tie tough
Eli got the big two-out hit to tie the game and for a few innings he is the hero in the dugout. But the tough part of baseball is you are only remembered for what you did in your last at-bat or even your next at-bat.
