crucial deal guys injuries plenty quickly realize step
He's a crucial guy. He's one of those guys you realize quickly what he does for you, particularly defensively. We've had plenty of injuries and this is one we'll have to deal with. Guys in his place will have to step up.
again guys hat tip win
Just tip your hat to those guys (and) come out and try to win again tomorrow.
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.
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.
catch control cruise early five fortunate good guys happy lead left louisiana mediocre playing results runs since tech western
I'm not particularly happy with the way we're playing. We had five runs on 11 hits, but we left 12 on base. We have been in cruise control since Western Illinois. We are fortunate to be 6-2 over that stretch. I told our guys we're playing very mediocre baseball. It's going to catch up to us. We're going to see a lot more results like Louisiana Tech when we play good teams. We get a lead early then go into cruise control. We didn't get to 19-8 by going through the motions.
waiting
I think a lot of (pollsters) are waiting to see what we do this week.
front hometown nice
It will be nice for them to play in front of their hometown crowds, play in front of their parents.
closes game gets hit lead pitches puts steven work
The first game was interesting. We had a four-run lead and squandered it, but Daly puts up zeros, Derek gets the big hit and Steven (Wright) closes it. Steven had to get his work in and 25 pitches was just right.
contact expect forced starts threw top
He was outstanding. He threw strikes, he forced contact and he was on top of his game. I think we'll expect more starts out of him before the year's out.
arkansas combine good hat steven tip
Steven was not good. He was up, and you combine that with a very good Arkansas club. You tip your hat to them.
added carries fact game hide league point taking talk weekend
From this point on, and you can talk about taking one game at a time, but you can't hide from the fact that every weekend game we play carries added significance because they are league games. If we keep doing what we have been doing, we'll be OK.
among baseball college electric fans few guy listed pitchers supposed top
Our fans will get to see another guy that's listed among the top few pitchers in college baseball that's draft-eligible. He's a guy who's supposed to have electric stuff.
ahead count forced steven
Steven got ahead in the count and forced contact. Everything was good.
looks swung
He's better, but looks thinner. But he swung (the bat) well.
