bat seen streak swinging takes
Este just takes a while to get going. We've seen that for two years now. He is a streak guy, but his streaks are long. He is really swinging the bat well now.
difficult early played schedule teams tournament
Of the tournament field, they've played the most difficult schedule early on, when you look at the teams they've played.
conference five four games guys reason
Five games in four days, that's a lot. The reason (for the long series) is to get guys out there before conference starts.
fish happens situation
Fish didn't have anything from the start, but it was the right move. If the same situation happens tomorrow, I'll do it again.
guys improve plenty
That's why I told our guys be happy, but don't be satisfied. We showed we have plenty of things we need to improve on.
fortunate playing
That's the one fortunate thing. We're playing at their place and we're able to make it up.
crooked gave numbers played
We played just well enough to get beat. We gave up crooked numbers in two innings. We just didn't get it done today.
aggressive approach early team
In the first inning, you could see their approach was to go with the pitch. But when they were doing their damage, they were the same team they've always been, which is very aggressive early in the count.
ahead hitter key puts strike third
His key is getting strike one. If he's able to get ahead of a hitter, it really puts the hitter on the defensive. When he doesn't get ahead, sometimes he has to come in with his fastball, which frankly, is his third pitch.
calling checked field game heavy hours needed radar rain seen sunlight
I never like calling a game before the scheduled game time, but this was about as heavy a rain as I've seen here. We checked with the weatherman and Doppler radar and we would have needed 3 or 4 hours of sunlight for the field to be ready.
credit diego felt good offensive san
I have to give credit to San Diego State. I felt they were a good offensive club.
bad draft good himself matt players pressure
Good players like Matt don't have two bad years in a row. He really put too much pressure on himself in his draft year.
bad outside worry
I feel bad for (Landon) because he doesn't get the at-bats that he would've gotten. Outside of that, I don't worry about Harrington or any of our pitching.
cuts harder laid played relatively
For the most part, it (the surface) has played relatively fair, but it is getting harder and more frayed and with the cuts in the seams getting laid open, it is getting dangerous.
