guys improve plenty
That's why I told our guys be happy, but don't be satisfied. We showed we have plenty of things we need to improve on.
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.
bat seen streak swinging takes
Este just takes a while to get going. We've seen that for two years now. He is a streak guy, but his streaks are long. He is really swinging the bat well now.
front hometown nice
It will be nice for them to play in front of their hometown crowds, play in front of their parents.
balls batter command evident fastball fear game gets ground pitches strike
It was evident in his first game that Darrell had no fear. He has the pitches that get you ground balls and strikeouts. His fastball command has improved. Now he is getting a strike on the first pitch most of the time. When he gets ahead, a batter is in trouble.
blizzard
It's still snowing. It's like a blizzard outside. It's nuts.
baseball break might money nature programs three
It's all about the nature of the sport. Baseball doesn't make money in college. There might be two or three baseball programs that break even.
games win
I told them you have to keep an even keel. Let's go out and win tomorrow. We've got a lot more games left.
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.
difficult early played schedule teams tournament
Of the tournament field, they've played the most difficult schedule early on, when you look at the teams they've played.
conference five four games guys reason
Five games in four days, that's a lot. The reason (for the long series) is to get guys out there before conference starts.
fish happens situation
Fish didn't have anything from the start, but it was the right move. If the same situation happens tomorrow, I'll do it again.
bad outside worry
I feel bad for (Landon) because he doesn't get the at-bats that he would've gotten. Outside of that, I don't worry about Harrington or any of our pitching.
cuts harder laid played relatively
For the most part, it (the surface) has played relatively fair, but it is getting harder and more frayed and with the cuts in the seams getting laid open, it is getting dangerous.
