Bats Quotations | Page 5

I did 'Kidulthood' and 'Adulthood,' and that's what people wanted and expect me to always do. They want me to do 'hood films and be the guy swinging baseball bats and saying 'Yo Blood' and beating up others in the street.

We just didn't swing the bats the way we should and we lost. We'll be out watching Hawaii tomorrow and we'll be pulling for them.

We just didn't go after it in extra innings but they did. To their credit, they've got a pretty good bullpen and they did a good job against our bats in extra innings.

We came out focused and had some really good at bats out of every player today. I thought we hit it hard, which we've been doing but we found the holes today.

We're still swinging the bats well. We're hitting the ball hard and getting hits at the right times.

We're still hunting and trying to find ourselves. The bats are coming around, and our pitching has been pretty solid. Our conference is really tough this year. Any team can get beat anywhere on any given day.

We've got everybody healthy and we used a lot of guys today. We've got 11 or 12 guys swinging the bats well right now but our pitching is going to have to carry us from here on out. But we feel like we're in good shape for conference and I feel like we're as good as anybody in the state right now.

Jordan pitched with a lot of heart after having pitched extended innings a couple days ago. Our bats were really flat behind him, because we struck out 10 times and had only three walks.

Josh struggled a little bit early, but then he started throwing his breaking pitch pretty good. Our defense played well behind him, and we swung the bats effectively. We didn't commit any errors, so that's a good thing.

We were in the cages and coach (Bob) Todd said something to freshman Zach Hurley. What he said clicked in my head. All our bats finally woke up. It seemed like we were hit or miss the last five, six or seven games.
