Sean Linville Quotations

For the first six innings we were totally in control of the game against the No. 1 team in the state, we just didn't make the play or the pitch we needed to win the game.

But if he continues to develop as a baseball player, come June 7 (the day of the baseball draft), there's still a chance. He'll have a tough decision.

I'm a Husky (football) season-ticket holder myself, and I still think he should be playing baseball.

We've just got to put this behind us. We won nine games in a row before this. If we lost this game two weeks ago it wouldn't matter at all. We can't let it bother us now.

He had better control last year. All of his walks come in bunches.

He hasn't hit .700 or thrown eight no-hitters, but a select group of teams has seen in him what I see. The pool he will be drafted in is quite a bit smaller, but the teams in that pool are quite a bit interested.

It's quite impressive that a 17-year-old kid can be that grounded. It would be pretty easy for him to get pretty big for his britches. A lot of 17-year-olds aren't mature enough to handle all of this. There's no resentment at all with his teammates because he handles it all so well and includes them. You get a guy this talented in this small of a pond, and he can overpower the whole pond, but Jake doesn't do that.

He was what we expected him to look like.

It was a hard-fought game, it was close the whole game, but we made the plays when we needed to.

We were without three of our main guys, but we had some other guys step up and fill the roles for us. It was nice to see some guys have some really nice at-bats.
