advantage again balls base extra guys hit patient score strike today took walks ways
We were patient and got some walks and didn't strike out but once, so we took advantage of some things. Today we got some extra outs and were able to score guys that got on base other ways than with hits. We hit balls hard, but again we didn't have a lot to show for it.
bats couple early helped job past relax scoring today
Probably scoring early today helped us relax a little better offensively. We'll do a better job with the bats than we've done in the past couple of weekends.
alabama best both caught good guys hard pitching played playing time today
We caught Alabama at a time when they were playing their best baseball. Today it was simple, pitching and hitting. They did both better than we did. My guys played hard but they weren't good enough.
bats early game hard helped relax scholars-and-scholarship scoring swing today
We were a little more comfortable offensively and we did swing the bats better. Baseball's a hard game and we have to be more comfortable when we play it. Scoring early today helped us relax a little bit.

You win the first two, you want to do a good job on Sunday and try to get the sweep. But it's hard to do, and we just weren't able to do it today because of Crawford.

We just had everything going for us. We were catching some breaks. We were hitting the ball hard and doing a good job, but it seemed like everything was going our way. It was certainly a great day and a great weekend for us.
baseball bus commercial couple hard move team time
We chartered a couple times in my career, but we go commercial most of the time when we fly, and we try to bus as much as we can. It's hard to move a baseball team commercially.
game great
It was another great game in a great rivalry. It's always a great game when we get together.
ahead good innings obviously outing sat three
(Cruse) was only going to go two or three innings at best, and obviously it wasn't a good outing for him, so we went ahead and sat him down.
against few gave good performance pitch played team
Cruse gave us the performance of his career. I'd like to get a few more hits, but we played about as good as we can and pitched about as good as we can pitch against a team of that caliber.
argument drew guys office single
Drew understands our situation. Most other guys would have been in my office by now. He has an argument for being in there every single day.

Everything went well. The doctor told him that he should be ready to go by the time next season begins.
