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.

I was impressed with the quality of Elon and I wasn't surprised by that. This was a good weekend for us to get better, and I think we learned a few things about this club. We won the series, but couldn't win them all but I look at it as a positive weekend.

It was a great weekend altogether for us. We did some good things, and some things went well for us. We hit balls that found holes early. We're certainly happy to be in the position we're in right now.

flourish game gets knowing likes name regardless short whether
I think he likes it. He likes to be out there when the game is on the line. He really does flourish in that situation, knowing that when his name gets called, it's important. Regardless of whether it's a short stint or we put him in in the fifth, he realizes that it is big.

I think this gives us a little validation. We think we've got a pretty good team, but we're young. Unfortunately, you've got to turn it around real quick and get on the road.

alabama beginning best coach couple gotten guys hitting picked quality since starters
Alabama is really good. They have quality pitching, and have couple of guys in the bullpen, and their hitting has really, really picked up since the beginning of the year. Coach Wells and his guys have just gotten better and better since Day 1. They may have the best starters in the league.
baseball great hard playing teams tomorrow
I think it's great that we have two teams playing baseball tomorrow where it's hard to get a ticket. That's outstanding.

They're blue-chip prospects. They have been everything I have thought they would be and more. Not only are they talented, but they handle themselves well for young players. ...They will make an impact.
friday guy night
That was really impressive. I told him after the game, I don't know that he's a Friday night guy yet, but he just got closer.
