credit either game gone good pitching run scoring staff
We had some good scoring opportunities and didn't capitalize, but you've got to give the other team's pitching staff credit for getting out of a run scoring situation. It was a game that could have gone either way.
bit extended super
We extended him a little bit today, he did a super job.
bit teams
We're banged up a little bit but other teams are banged up too.
awesome good talent
I don't think we have awesome talent, but we have very good talent.
freshmen maturity poise team
I don't think we've ever had a team where we've relied on freshmen like this season. They play with more maturity and poise than their age.
caught
I don't usually go back that far. But that's when he caught my attention.
best eat guys innings message pitchers pitching sending sends trying
I don't think it should set off alarms. It sends a message that we're trying to get our best pitchers to eat as many innings as possible. That's the message we're sending to our pitchers. We've got to get our guys who are pitching the best to pitch the most.
bullpen count everybody five giving good innings job ourselves pitch six sure wear

missed pull
He never missed an inning for us. I couldn't get him to take even a half-game off. I would say, 'Landon, let's pull back in.' He would say, 'I'm fine,' and he would be back out there.
bats coming good offense talking win year
We feel like if we can get a pretty good offense together, we'll win some games. Pitching's been good all year long and the bats started coming around today, which is good because we've been talking about it way too much.
continue good hard hitter mechanics pace
To continue this pace ... well, that's going to be hard to do. But he's got the mechanics to be a good hitter and things are going well for him.
battle building case changes eventually guy himself identified leave potential resume sort weekend
He's a guy we sort of identified has the potential to eventually be a weekend guy or battle for some weekend innings. He makes a case for himself a little bit, but we're not making any changes right now. We're going to leave him where he is. But he's building a resume for himself.
agree certainly hundred pitch year
He didn't want to try and come back and pitch this year if he wasn't a hundred percent. I certainly agree with his decision.
fight rehab tried
He's had back issues. He's tried to fight through it. He's tried to rehab and get where he can play.
