couple guys middle power
I think we've got a couple guys in the middle of that lineup who could show some power in Bonnell and Miller.
contact grand guy hit strike swinging
Keith's a contact guy and one thing he won't do is strike out. I didn't want us to go down swinging in that situation. I wanted contact, but I didn't know he was going to hit a grand slam.
ahead baseball best carry coming guy help second somebody step
Keith has been coming through for us consistently, but we need somebody else to step up. I think our best baseball is ahead of us, but we can't do it with one guy. We need to have a second guy come around and help carry us.
advantage focused gave guys pitch stay took tough
It's tough for guys who are as competitive as McCulloch is to stay focused when they are up 10-0. It's tough for him to pitch in that situation, but we took advantage of the opportunities they gave us.
bit bothering goes guts guy himself playing pressure puts roll
I think it's bothering him a little bit at the plate. Mike's playing through it. To his credit, he goes out there and guts it out every day. He puts a lot of pressure on himself to succeed, but he's our guy and we're going to roll with him.
attention games high level maintain tough win
It is a tough schedule. But if we can maintain a high level of attention to detail, I think we're going to win a lot of games and be very successful.
future given nice opportunity perform role team
I think he's comfortable with his role for this team right now. But he is part of the future of this program, and it's nice to see that he was able to perform when given an opportunity today.
athletic certainly coming department everybody imagine momentum national rebels rooting shows whether
Whether everybody who shows up is rooting for the Rebels or not, I don't know, but certainly it will be exciting. I would imagine they would (travel well) coming off a national championship ... and just because of some of the momentum that their athletic department has.
began felt loosen matt point tendency
Matt has a tendency not to loosen up at times because of the surgery. I thought he was loose when he went out there today. He got to a point that things began to tighten a bit. He felt like he couldn't let it go.
ball struck
We've got to find a way to put the ball in play. We struck out 23 times in two days, and that is not tolerable.
bats couple doubt next remedy swing win
You have got to win games, no doubt about it. There's no remedy like winning. We thought Friday's win (6-5 in 12 innings) would spearhead that. We thought we would come out and swing the bats the next couple of games, and we haven't done that.
continue luck point season turning
With any luck at all, this will be the turning point in our season and we can continue to play well.
bright early gave park runs side wind
We gave up some runs early and I thought, here we go again. The only bright side of it was when we're in our park and the wind is blowing, I always feel like we've got a chance.
days decision final hurry mean obviously wait
We still have to wait for a final decision from the NCAA. I thought it would come probably 10 days ago, but obviously they're not in a hurry because it doesn't mean as much to them.
