Basically, Matt is going to catch on that I’m going out and saying the same thing. He is very talented, but a freshman and sometimes he just needs to be shook up.

We just showed up, threw our gloves on the field, expected to win and deserved to get beat.

I have to give credit to San Diego State. I felt they were a good offensive club.

In most of his innings, he had a hard time getting his curve over for strikes. There were couple innings when his changeup left him as well. You’ll give up some hits if you’re throwing...

We had a little edge and were able to sustain it once we got the 5-1 lead. The way we’ve been playing the last couple weeks, we’ve been going into cruise control. But we were...

Five games in four days, that’s a lot. The reason (for the long series) is to get guys out there before conference starts.

When it comes to the finances of the budget that I’m given, and if I don’t adhere to it, we make sure we have the resources to fundraising efforts to make up for any overages...

Adam was big for us.

In a close game like this, that ball could have easily gone into left field and we have a tie game. That shows you what a thin line we were on.

He came in and threw strikes. He’s been a little inconsistent on the year, but he works hard and he’s got good stuff.

We’re definitely going to need all the help we can get when you look at Schmidt’s numbers.

Matt is growing into a leader, working with the staff and pushing the tempo. If Esteban hits like he did the last month a year ago, he will be a good draft. We need him...

Justin wasn’t trying to overpower people and get strikeouts. He had to stay within himself and learned that.

It’s all about the nature of the sport. Baseball doesn’t make money in college. There might be two or three baseball programs that break even.

Matt came in and picked us up. He was lights out tonight.

It will be nice for them to play in front of their hometown crowds, play in front of their parents.

Robbie is playing with a sense of urgency, making things happen. That is very pleasant to see. You have to root for Robbie because of the injuries he has had the last two years.

His key is getting strike one. If he’s able to get ahead of a hitter, it really puts the hitter on the defensive. When he doesn’t get ahead, sometimes he has to come in with...

He’s a crucial guy. He’s one of those guys you realize quickly what he does for you, particularly defensively. We’ve had plenty of injuries and this is one we’ll have to deal with. Guys in...

Darrell couldn’t throw strikes during the fall of his freshman year. We work so much with our pitchers in the fall on fastball command and his fastball is his No. 3 pitch.

Of the tournament field, they’ve played the most difficult schedule early on, when you look at the teams they’ve played.

He was outstanding. He threw strikes, he forced contact and he was on top of his game. I think we’ll expect more starts out of him before the year’s out.

I thought it was his best outing all year. He has his slider back and he hadn’t had it for weeks. That made all the difference in the world for him.

Our fans will get to see another guy that’s listed among the top few pitchers in college baseball that’s draft-eligible. He’s a guy who’s supposed to have electric stuff.

You go into every series wanting to win the series. But when you win the first two you get greedy and want to go for the sweep. We’re pleased with the outcome as a whole.

The first game was interesting. We had a four-run lead and squandered it, but Daly puts up zeros, Derek gets the big hit and Steven (Wright) closes it. Steven had to get his work in...
