ball people proud walking
I was very proud of how we battled back in that ball game, but when you are walking people and making errors, you are not going to win.
behind defense five giving good great nice outing played plays proud
I thought we played pretty good defense tonight. We made some nice plays behind Butts to get him out of some innings. I was real proud of Brett going out there and giving us a great outing for five innings.

I thought our kids really had good approaches at the plate against some pretty good Kentucky pitching. I was proud of the way our kids played.
followed great innings job late paul proud running thrown today tremendous
Paul Burnside was really the story today. He has really thrown well of late and he followed it up today with another outstanding outing. He got after and it and did a tremendous job. If Paul Burnside can't come in and give us the innings the way he did, it could have been a long afternoon. He just did a great job of running for us and I was really proud of him.

We weren't good at the plate. We had terrible approaches.

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.

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.

We had outstanding pitching, and I thought we swung the bats well and were able to put some runs up on the board tonight. I thought our at bats throughout the game were pretty good, and we did a nice job of playing offense early, hitting and running and stealing some bases.

The talent is there. Some days it shows up and some days it doesn't. When you talk about teams that perform consistently day in and day out, it's usually teams that have a lot of experience.

As the record indicates, we've been fairly inconsistent. We're capable of beating anybody in the country and capable of losing to anybody in the country. That has been the consistent pattern with this club.
credit harder job nice poor stuff
Credit (Lance) Cole for doing a really nice job. He didn't try to get us out with harder stuff and we did a poor job of making adjustments to what he was doing to us.

Vanderbilt, since Tim has been there, they've been built around their pitching. They did a really good job of helping those kids develop and they've done a good job of recruiting their pitching.

We did a good job of playing offense three days in a row. I thought our kids had good approaches at the plate. (Sunday), just like Friday, we had all three phases of the game: Pitching, defense, offense - I thought we did OK.
