Clyde Metcalf Quotations

I don't think we took advantage of some early chances (to score). But they did a great job.

That was a good baseball team. We played really well and I think Troy really shines (in big games).

Troy has a tendency to break down mechanically. It's very seldom and it was just a couple of little things about his mechanics. I told him to trust his stuff and get back in the zone. He's an exceptional pitcher, who needs to trust that stuff and go after hitters.

Troy did a great job. He struggled a little bit in the middle innings, but seemed to get stronger as he went on. If you put up goose eggs, it's a pretty good performance.

We put together some hits with some walks and got a big lead. We need run support.

Bill was someone who had been around the program and knew how things were done in the tennis program under Kirk. He wants to continue it among the same lines, which is what we were really looking for in a coach.

Eric was on a bit of a mission. He heard me talk about Carmine all week to our hitters and he had to prove that he could match him.

It was running up there. He has a strong arm and a great bounce back. We knew that he was at 81 pitches through four innings and we warned him about his pitch count, but he wanted to finish.

The ball doesn't carry real well here. To go from a two-run lead to a four-run lead, that home run was gigantic for us. It's not an easy park to hit a home run out of and he got all of it.

It was good to see us put together a big inning and then we just turned it over to our pitchers.

They (Charlotte) just outplayed us. We had lots of chances early in the game and left too many runners on base. And that always comes back to haunt you.

He's everything he's billed to be. I hope he's as good as we see all season.
