ball bat hit hooked means people swung
I thought we swung the bat well tonight. We hit the ball right at people and hooked a couple, which means we need to keep it fair.
believed handled hoped pitch
He handled it the way we hoped he would. We told him that he could pitch here and that we believed in him. Use it as motivation.
coming hardest high learn level pitcher school sign
One of the hardest things for a pitcher coming out of high school to this level is to learn to back off of the velocity. He has learned. That's a sign of maturity.
match
I've got an idea, but I want to see who we match up against, and I will go from there.

I'm proud of Bryan (Ball). He had a tough outing, yet he held us in the game.
frustrated guys hard
I'm really frustrated for them. I know that the guys are working hard at it.
bats critical defend field game good great job short starting swung
I thought that we swung the bats better tonight. We also did a great job with our short game and we pitched through some adversity. We are starting to defend the field better, which is critical to being a good club.
continues david hard work
David continues to work hard and get better.
close games kept playing swinging tough
With the way we've been swinging the bats, we've got to keep games close and we didn't do that. But to our guys' credit, they kept playing tough the whole game.
awful credit deserve hard players pull work
The players deserve an awful lot of credit for their approach. They work hard to pull each other through.
bunch guys hard help playing
When you look up and down the order, there were a bunch of different guys contributing and that's very positive. We still have a long way to go, but our guys are playing hard and doing some of the little things well. That will help us in the big picture.
asset ball hard hope matt time tremendous worked
We hope to think (he'll be back in time for Arkansas). Matt has worked very hard on the rehab. Obviously, he'll be a tremendous asset back to the ball club.
learn ran
We just ran out of outs today. We'll take that and learn from it.
tough
We're not used to this and don't like it one bit. It's a very long and a very tough day.
