farther game games good kept news shot
I think if we could have kept the game close, we'd have had a shot because we were having good at-bats. We thought we'd be a little farther along. The good news is there are a lot of games ahead.
allow games great impressive straight
It is not often you play two straight games and allow no runs. Lance pitched great today. He was very impressive considering it was his first collegiate start. He pitched with a lot of confidence.
ahead clutch hitters timely walk
Crawford got ahead of hitters and made clutch pitches. He didn't walk that many, and we weren't able to get the timely hit like we did in the first game.
few guy last playing slow weeks
He's a guy who got off to a slow start, but if we're going to make any kind of run, we're going to need him. The last few weeks he's really been playing well.
beat bottom credit line remaining six tough
You've got to give them a lot of credit, being down 3-1 with only six outs remaining and they're at the bottom of their lineup. It's a tough one to swallow, but the bottom line is they beat us.
doubt figure pitch
There's no doubt Tommy has to pitch for us in some capacity. We've got to figure out what that's going to be.
baseball both false good seen sides
Baseball is so much about confidence. How you feel about your swing, your pitching. I don't think it's a false confidence. We know we have to play well to win. We didn't play well in March. We've seen both sides of it, which I think is a good thing.
anybody best deserves friday game gives moved opportunity pitch reason role win
The reason he got moved to the Friday role is that he gives us the best opportunity to win the game of anybody we've got. He deserves to pitch on Friday.
ahead composed electric good lights
Will's got electric stuff. He's had a good year, but like most of our pitchers, it's been up-and-down. Tonight, he was lights out. He was ahead in the count, very composed out there.
feet wet work
We wanted to get him back out there and get his feet wet again. Sometimes it doesn't work out the way you want.
capitalize couple hard momentum pitcher played roll ucla
We competed hard today, but UCLA just played better than we did. We got their pitcher on the ropes early, but we didn't capitalize and let him get back on a roll after the first couple of innings. We never were able to take that momentum back.
ahead bats clutch five good hitters pitcher six stop swinging
We've been swinging the bats well for five or six games. But a good pitcher sometimes can stop that. Crawford was able to get ahead of the hitters and make the clutch pitch.
answering difficult extending kept lead score time
We kept answering (at the plate). We kept controlling the game. Every time they would score we would score. We kept extending the lead and made it more and more difficult for them.
capitalize couple pitcher roll
We got their pitcher on the ropes early, but we didn't capitalize and let him get back on a roll after the first couple of innings.
