advantage certainly classic clubs good talk third time took
We just didn't do the job, offensively or defensively. They are a good club, but they certainly aren't 10-0 better than us. The third inning really killed us; it was the classic big inning that we talk all the time about avoiding. When you play good clubs like this, you just can't do that. It just took us out of the game, and then we didn't take any advantage of any of the opportunities that we had after that.
certainly good played trying
We've always played well here. We're a good club, and I think we're trying to show we can play with other good clubs. We're certainly not intimidated.
balls barrel certainly either game gone good hit negative played win
I don't have one negative thought about them the whole weekend. We played hard. We played well. It was two very, very good teams. Certainly this game today, 3-2, could have gone either way. We hit a lot of balls on the barrel today. We play this well most every weekend, we're going to win at least two if not all three.
assistant certainly coaches fortunate good great job loyal measure players prepare time trust win
It's like I said before. Certainly there is a good measure of satisfaction in that. My job is to prepare the guys. It's their job to go out, play and win. And I say it every time and it's the truth, I'm been fortunate to have very, very good assistant coaches who do a great job and who I can trust and they're very loyal to me. And I've had very, very good players. That's how you win a lot of games. You have good players around you and you coach a long time.
against alabama certainly clubs coming florida front large miami outside played wherever
I think we are certainly not intimidated coming in here or going to Miami or going to Alabama or wherever we have gone. The only place we haven't played well is at Florida State, but outside of that we have always played well against big clubs in front of large crowds.
against certainly expect playing struggling
They've been struggling a little bit, but they're playing a lot better right now. I certainly expect them to play well against us.
base certainly few good guys left ourselves ran scoring time
Obviously, I thought we could have scored a few more runs. We left a lot of guys on base and ran ourselves out of an inning. We certainly had the possibility of scoring more runs. But any time you can come away with a win, it is a good day.
enjoyed last played time
We enjoyed it the last time we were down there. Historically, we've played pretty well at Coastal. But it's a new year.
balls couple except extremely good played threw
I thought it was another good outing. Heath, of course, threw extremely well, except in one inning when he got a couple balls up. All in all, though, I thought we played pretty well.
ahead count hard strikes threw throw
(Martin) threw strikes and was ahead in the count. When you throw as hard as he does and you're ahead in the count you're going to be successful.
four gotten josh mcdonald past single threw time top
We're still working that out. Josh McDonald has gotten better every single time out. He threw well this past weekend. He's one of our top four starters.
face game games gone huge lost swept today
This was a huge game for us. I can't even say how big it was for us. If we had lost today and gone down two games to them, face the possibility of getting swept at home, it would have been really tough.
alabama anybody ask expected game pleased schedule three won
You look at our schedule. We won two out of three at Miami. We won two out of three at Alabama and we've won every other game we've played. As a coach, you can't ask for anything more than that. When you look at our schedule ... if anybody thought or expected we'd be better than (11-2) right now, I'd thought they were crazy. If I'd expected that I'd been crazy. It would have been very unrealistic of us. So I'm very pleased with where we're at.
defend excited great ready
We're excited about getting ready to play in the Big South. I think it's going to be another great run. We're ready, hopefully, to defend our title.
