ball coming good hard hit numbers
Seibert pitched well. His numbers were good coming in. We hit a lot of hard balls, just right at them. We put the ball into play, but we just couldn't get anything going.
brooks depth good gotten paid
We had a lot of depth then, when Brooks was cut. Plus, he's gotten better. He's very good defensively. He's paid his dues.
good hitter
We've got to have him. He's too good of a hitter (not to contribute).
call few good pitching played weeks
We've played good teams, but give me a call in a few weeks and I'll let you know how our pitching is.
bad games good home start won
The good part is that we've won 11 games to start the season. The bad part is, they were all home games.
athletic ballpark directors game gonna good great handle people
We're going to play the game somewhere. I'll let the athletic directors handle that. I ain't gonna tell you Smith-Wills is a better ballpark than the new one, but it's been good to us over the years. They've done everything we've asked. They put in a new (playing surface), they put in new lights. I think it's been great for the people down there.
good hit hunter joseph win
They're a good team. They wanted to win as much as we wanted to win. Joseph Hunter got the big hit for us.
arkansas ball beating capable club gave good nice pitch plays series shown state today
This was a good series for us. Arkansas State has a nice ball club and they have shown they are capable of beating good teams. They gave us a tussle this weekend, and today we had to make some plays and pitch well.
good pick players somebody thinking
Smith-Willis has been good to us, but you know the players are thinking about facilities. Somebody will pick this up, and there are now two options.
below clubs good normal opponents perennial struggling
I'm not down on the opponents, but most of those opponents were .500 clubs or below .500 clubs. Like even (Arizona), a normal perennial power, is struggling right now because of young players, so I don't know if we were that good when we were 18-0.
five hits innings until
We had the 13 hits in five innings because we didn't have a hit until the 5th inning.
arizona ball caliber credit job needed nice pitchers putting series team win
To win a three-game series from a team of Arizona's caliber is a credit to our players. Arizona has some outstanding pitchers and we did a nice job of putting the ball in play when we needed to.
nearly ours
We had nearly as many hits, but they put them together. That's what it's all about. We just spaced ours out.
thinking tough winning
That's the tough thing about winning 18 in a row. They're down there, thinking it's the end of the world. They wanted to see how long this thing could keep going.
