Tom Lechnir Quotations

We're not good enough to put a stand-pat lineup in. They know that. We're going to take our best guess. You just have to do something. We're so young that I don't think they know what a No. 3 or No. 4 hitter is supposed to do, they just go up there and hit.

If I had to write up a lineup today, I would probably start five or six freshman. We're so young that some of those young guys are going to have to step up. It's kind of interesting. Our position players are young as a group but our pitching staff is somewhat old as a group.

It's pretty obvious. We are struggling in every department right now. We just aren't swinging the bat well enough to bounce back to where we use to be.

He's the guy that gave us the lift. You have to find some life somewhere whether it's on offense or defense or pitching and he gave us some life. That allowed us to sit back and swing the bat a little bit.
