Drew Stubbs Quotations

Baseball is a game of ups and downs. Sometimes you score 10 runs like we did against Oklahoma, and sometimes you score three like we did tonight. It's just one of those things.

I was calling him off because normally the center fielder has the priority there. I don't think he heard me, but that's not his fault.

We couldn't string together rallies. It's tough to get shut out, but it's not the end of the world because we still have a lot of games to play.

We work extremely hard everyday, because the outfield is something we take pride in. This weekend was different with the errors, but it's something we know will be fixed.

Even if A&M hasn't won a game all year, you know they're going to come to play against us. Were going to hopefully learn from what happened tonight.

There's a lot of excitement around here with us coming off the national title, but this is a new team and a new season, so we have to put our past accomplishments behind us and approach this as a new start. Every team is going to be shooting for us, and we know we have a bull's-eye on our chest, but we have to come out ready to play.

It was drizzling and it was cold. You kept thinking it was going to end and it just kept going.

The new guys we have are all great baseball players, and we know what they can do, so it's up to them to go out and do their thing.

I guess people stayed away because there was rain in the forecast.

But he continued to be as effective as he was at the start of the game.

He threw a great game. We had our chances to score and that's probably my fault we didn't, but you still have to give him credit.

I'd say if they're not ahead, they're pretty close behind where I was as a freshman. They're very good learners of the game and situations around them.

You can say coming into season we knew we'd need some leadership, but actions are a whole different deal. It took some time.
