Doug Schreiber Quotations

I just don't like giving stuff away. I am not taking anything away from Ball State, we just did not execute. It's a tough loss. I wanted to win that game as much as any game I have ever coached.

Today was a big game because I told the guys we either were winning the series or settling for a tie. We swung the bats a lot better today.

We just had a lot of errors and walks. When you bunch them together like we did this weekend, it is trouble. That is why Michigan has been playing well of late; they take advantage of things like that.

Our offense was clicking in the final two games. We were able to bust it open and that is really good for our defense, pitching and coaches.

He has an incredible work ethic. He is driven for success and he has his priorities straight. It shows in how he goes about his life on and off the mound.

He hurt his arm the summer before he came here and he had Tommy John surgery. He's probably not at 100 percent. I also like the fact that he's not afraid at the plate, either. He got a big hit and put down a key bunt for us.

He has really come up big for us in some long relief stints. He is someone who has taken some time to physically and mentally develop at the Division I level, but he has worked at it.

It's not a perfect situation. The turf is hard. So, we try to keep pounding down to a minimum as far as running and excess. But you gotta do some of it.

I will take this team whenever we have our backs up against a wall. I was proud of how we fought really hard to get out of a few holes. We scored first in all four games this weekend. We just have to work on getting those wins when we are the slight favorite.

In the last two games, we made a conscious effort to hit line drives. The guys did a little better job at the plate, which was encouraging.
