Kevin Cooney Quotations

If a player isn't getting the playing time, he transfers to a smaller school. That is best for the student-athlete, but then it costs me a point.

He's a soft-throwing left-hander with a great curveball that has a lot of bite.

He's got a beautiful swing and good power. He will be a good force for us in the middle of the lineup.

He could take over a game. Not many people could do the things he does. It's a huge loss, but he gave the team an emotional lift whenever he was up.

I think we have a good chance to be very good.

I think we're good and we have a chance to be very good. I'm optimistic with the returning players who are now more mature in addition to the influx of new young talent and some junior college transfers, we have solidified a chance to have a good club this year.

People are people, ... They want health and safety for their families and meaningful work n wherever you go.

That was pretty impressive - a kid ratting on himself. That showed how he carried himself.

Mickey has nowhere to go but down. I think the biggest question is how he will handle it when he fails.

Who is missing? Five of our top offensive players.

We played much better defense in this game. That certainly sets a tone for people and makes things go more smoothly. That was a big win. I hate to overstate it but we definitely should have taken two of three.

We will not see starting pitching like that for the rest of the season.

It would be great for us. The benefit to us would be huge.

Adkins set the tone. He really made us look bad at the plate.

Storey pitched great. He dominated the game and was very effective. He handled both the left-handers and right-handers really well.

Now I'm telling them you shouldn't just be happy you are playing; you should be happy when you win.

It's funny. The guy without the catchphrase lasted the longest here, and became the best loved.

It was never like he felt sorry for himself once.

I'm really proud of where we are now because so many young guys have been thrown into the lurch.

I'm world-famous all over Canada. I cried like a baby.

In the fall I didn't see any chance of him playing.

I don't know if we're as bad as we looked tonight. I don't know if we're as good as everybody said we are. We're closer to being good as we are to being this bad.

the looks on the kids' faces when they played on monkey bars for the first time, or of the village elder as he tried the swing n he had a smile that will linger with me forever. It was a small thing for the people who had never had one, it meant something.
