He's an explosive young hitter. He, like all the others, has a lot of work to do. We just want to get him healthy so we can get him in the field.

He really drove that ball. I didn't think it was going to get out. I thought it was going to be a double, but it just stayed up in the air a little too long.

He's not felt very good since he threw Saturday. His arm feels great. The problem is he has some pain in his side.

That's part of being a freshman. He's had some really good bats at times, some really bad at-bats. It's part of the learning process.
breath deep deliver good guys instead matter maybe relax trying
It's a matter of having guys relax and not try to do so much. They just need to take a deep breath and try to make good contact. Sometimes, everyone is trying to deliver that blow, maybe trying to do too much instead of relaxing.
games guess guys hang played playing year
They just compete. They don't hang their heads. Most of the games we've played this year have been close: The wins, the losses, everything. I guess you could say our guys are used to playing in big games this year.

Anytime you win a series it feels good. Our kids have worked very hard and they're very deserving. It's nice to see them get rewarded.

They're disappointed to lose the game. You go into the weekend expecting to win every game, and our kids played their guts out and competed their butts off. And they came up short against a good Kentucky team.
democratic general opinion reflect results thinking
They reflect the opinion of Democratic activists. But I don't think you can extrapolate from the results the thinking of the general public.
adventure frustrated guys
As you get older, you become more consistent. With a first-year player, every day is an adventure. You never know which guys are going to show up. I wouldn't say I get frustrated --It's just part of the process.
again certainly confidence emotional extremely hard helps kids played putting single work
The kids bounced back (Saturday) and did extremely well, and then played well again on Sunday. So, from an emotional standpoint, and a confidence standpoint, it helps a lot. The hard work they're putting in every single day, this certainly makes them feel better to feel like they're being rewarded.
clutch credit goes good great hits job jonathan justin provided rough seven
All the credit goes to our kids. What a great job after a rough first game, and it started on the mound. Evan Crawford was really good and he did an outstanding job of getting us seven innings. Justin Bristow and Jonathan Rasberry then provided big, clutch hits for us late.
believe chance game invest positive stay
You've got to invest in your guys. You have to give them a chance to fail. This is a game of failure. We've just got to stay positive with them. We believe in our guys.
