awful credit deserve hard players pull work
The players deserve an awful lot of credit for their approach. They work hard to pull each other through.
develop spot stage
We need to develop that spot at this stage in the season.
tough
We're not used to this and don't like it one bit. It's a very long and a very tough day.
guys quite
Those are the guys we look to, quite candidly.
ball contribute guys obviously order production success top
The production at the top of our order was a big part of the success today. So many different guys contribute on a ball club, but obviously you want to look at the production of guys who are capable, with experience, of doing that.
asset ball hard hope matt time tremendous worked
We hope to think (he'll be back in time for Arkansas). Matt has worked very hard on the rehab. Obviously, he'll be a tremendous asset back to the ball club.
ball bat hit hooked means people swung
I thought we swung the bat well tonight. We hit the ball right at people and hooked a couple, which means we need to keep it fair.
bats critical defend field game good great job short starting swung
I thought that we swung the bats better tonight. We also did a great job with our short game and we pitched through some adversity. We are starting to defend the field better, which is critical to being a good club.
believed handled hoped pitch
He handled it the way we hoped he would. We told him that he could pitch here and that we believed in him. Use it as motivation.
ball dwell hard hit negative
He hit the ball as hard as you can hit it. He can't dwell on the negative of that. He's got to dwell on the positive.
ball feels hurt integral
He feels better today. But I hurt for Darren. He's an integral part of our ball club.
ball character elevated forward game great guys plays pleased push quality selective stepped
I was very pleased with the way Tommy Wynn stepped forward and pitched us out of some jams. I thought we made quality plays to keep the game close, but we elevated too many balls. We have to be more selective and put the ball on the ground. These guys have great character and will push through.
close games kept playing swinging tough
With the way we've been swinging the bats, we've got to keep games close and we didn't do that. But to our guys' credit, they kept playing tough the whole game.
ball believe forward ground guys pressure step
We've got to step up and find a way to put the ball in play. We need to put the ball on the ground and pressure defenses. We've got to have guys step forward and we will. I believe that.
