Matt throws a plus slider, but the fastball is his foremost pitch.
good obviously pitchers ranked three top
Obviously they are a very good club. They are nationally ranked and have one the top two or three pitchers in the country.
fired games good guys national nice recognizes start understand
While it's nice to get some national recognition, all that really recognizes is that we got off to a good start our first 14 games and nothing more. Our guys understand that. They're not going to be all that fired up about it.
mark monday talked
I talked with Mark on Monday and he said he was fine.
dry fortunate playing rather return sponge trip weather
We are fortunate to have the return trip to Louisiana. It's not ideal, but it's better to play in sunny, dry weather rather than playing on the sponge we have.
crucial deal guys injuries plenty quickly realize step
He's a crucial guy. He's one of those guys you realize quickly what he does for you, particularly defensively. We've had plenty of injuries and this is one we'll have to deal with. Guys in his place will have to step up.

He's been the epitome of a team guy.

He's better, but looks thinner. But he swung (the bat) well.

From this point on, and you can talk about taking one game at a time, but you can't hide from the fact that every weekend game we play carries added significance because they are league games. If we keep doing what we have been doing, we'll be OK.
contact expect forced starts threw top
He was outstanding. He threw strikes, he forced contact and he was on top of his game. I think we'll expect more starts out of him before the year's out.
start
Ian Harrington will start one game. After that, it is TBA. I haven't thought about it yet.

Basically, Matt is going to catch on that I'm going out and saying the same thing. He is very talented, but a freshman and sometimes he just needs to be shook up.
good plain
He just didn't make good pitches, plain and simple.
again guys hat tip win
Just tip your hat to those guys (and) come out and try to win again tomorrow.
