We aren’t going to train differently or try harder; every year we try to qualify. If we’re fortunate enough to make it [to nationals], it’s a nice bonus to have it here at our pool.

People need to recognize that this is one of the greatest players, if not the greatest baseball player ever. We should cherish the last year or two years or 20 days we have him. I...

I have never seen a game like that here, … Never.

[Senior Day] didn’t affect the game too much, but it might have been a slight distraction. We didn’t play crisp the first half. We did a much better job against their picks and one-on-one drives...

I know that I’ve gone out and given us a chance to win and done it with half our team hurt, too.

I was trying to throw in and missed and it got away from me. Then the whole inning got away from me, the whole game. It was a little frustrating, especially after going out there...

I’m not a very lucky pitcher. I thought I threw the ball well today and came out with a loss.

I’ve been coaching for 25 years and I’ve never seen something like that happen.

It’s definitely different. I like it. This could be the start of a second career. (Agent) Casey (Close) told me I don’t realize how many people have wondered what I’d do as a reliever. Now,...

If I go out and pitch 14 games the rest of the season and I’m pretty successful, it would be tough to not want to continue to (pitch relief). I want to be successful in...

to put it in (the Rockies’) mind whether they want me back or open somebody’s eyes a little bit where they’ll want me.

She’s extremely accurate and she has very hard, fast outside shots. She’s strong and she’s fast. As far as a five-yard burst, she’s very quick.

This was the first time I’ve ever hit in the first inning, so to get a hit and be a part of the fun was kind of cool. It’s not real difficult to pitch with...

It’s a bit of a dramatic jump to go from East Bay and Sonoma State to Cal. But we’ll see how we respond to that.

I felt sharp. I knew it was going to be a tough game. I’m just glad we got the game in. I like pitching here. I like the fact it’s a big rivalry and it...

the furthest ball I’ve seen hit here to left field by a right-hander.

We are a little more comfortable and have a little more continuity than we did at this point last season.

We have the pieces to the puzzle. We have a lot of weapons.

It seems like every game, out of the windup when I kick my leg up, I get off balance, … I don’t remember too many 1-2-3 innings this year. It seems when I’m out of...

I never want to say that there is a defining moment, but we were down 4-1 and were able to come back. I think by doing so they showed a lot of character. I couldn’t...

Right away, it felt like that’s what I should have been doing for 10 years,

That will be the challenge, just keeping the adrenaline in check. There’s already going to be plenty as it is with the crowd and trying to make an impression to my new teammates and my...

It’s the first time I ever came up in the first inning. To get a hit and be a part of the inning was kind of cool.

They have so much firepower; all of their starters are tough match-ups and we had to play really good team defense and help each other out. A couple people played really great individual games but...
