effort eight happy job mixed nice offense pitches played playing runs solid time
I was real happy with (Brett) Butts, he mixed his pitches well. We played offense today. Any time you can get eight runs off of eight hits, you did a nice job of playing offense. All in all it was a pretty solid effort by our club.
changes good job kids night played today
Every one of the kids that was in the lineup today has played well. I'm not going to make lineup changes after one night of us not doing a very good job of making adjustments.

They're disappointed to lose the game. You go into the weekend expecting to win every game, and our kids played their guts out and competed their butts off. And they came up short against a good Kentucky team.

The fact that we've played such a tough schedule means that the game won't speed up on Friday night for us. We've played a good schedule so far, faced lots of good pitching and lots of good teams.
games guess guys hang played playing year
They just compete. They don't hang their heads. Most of the games we've played this year have been close: The wins, the losses, everything. I guess you could say our guys are used to playing in big games this year.
again certainly confidence emotional extremely hard helps kids played putting single work
The kids bounced back (Saturday) and did extremely well, and then played well again on Sunday. So, from an emotional standpoint, and a confidence standpoint, it helps a lot. The hard work they're putting in every single day, this certainly makes them feel better to feel like they're being rewarded.
good terrible
We weren't good at the plate. We had terrible approaches.
good mike plate quality terrible
We weren't good at the plate tonight. We had terrible approaches. Not to take anything away from Mike Cisco, but up and down the lineup, we didn't have enough quality at-bats.
base giving matter productive walking walks
It was way too many walks and way too many errors. When you're walking that many and making errors, you're not going to win. We had a productive day at the plate, but it doesn't matter how productive you are if you're giving up base runners.
baseball bounce extra gives hard obviously rewarded single work
There was a little extra bounce in their step. With the hard work they put in ever single day, it makes them feel better to know that they're being rewarded for hard their hard work. The most important thing in baseball is confidence. Obviously when you win, it gives you a little more.
