Bats Quotations | Page 3

I thought it took us a little bit to get our bats going, but Samford came in and played well. They did a good job of keeping us off balance and they moved the ball around and we had a hard time adjusting to that so you have to give them credit. Stephanie pitched a great game and we finally put some runs on the board with big hits.

I thought Lorin Thurgood had one of the greatest at bats I've ever seen.

I thought in the second inning we had some really big hits and that kind of set the tone for the game. It was great to see some guys come through with some clutch hitting. I think we showed that we're capable of being a good offensive team when everybody's clicking and swinging the bats the way that they can.

Maybe one day I'll get it, but right now I'm content with getting three hits. It's fun right now. Everybody on the team is swinging the bats well and it's just fun. I always said we were going to get on a roll like this, and here we go.

That was a very close play and probably could have gone either way. However, we got the call and it seemed like that really sparked our bats early.

That was some of the best defense we've played all year. We hustled on every ball and made the plays on the field. Hodge throws a lot of pitches that we just eat. We're still learning to get the bats going early and stop waiting until late.

That was a much better game, offensively. We swung the bats well enough to keep us in the game and we made the plays when we needed too. Timely hitting is what is going to win games. We got the timely hits when we needed them.

That's two in a row. Hopefully we can spread 'em out and get the bats going at home.

That's been our problem pretty much down the stretch. We haven't been able to capitalize on opportunities. That's why we're five games back instead of even, because we're not swinging the bats a little better.

That's been our key all year. Our defense has kept us in games and our bats have won them for us.

I was optimistic going in after the week of practice that we had. I thought we were more comfortable offensively. We swung the bats better, and hopefully things will continue in that direction.

Most bats eat their own weight every night. ... And that's a lot of bug-eating.... It adds up.

When the bats come alive like that, it's pretty nice.

We haven't swung the bats well here, or even on the road, it's fair to say.

We just couldn't string a bunch of hits together today, our big bats were real silent.

We continue to struggle to put seven innings together. We came out with our bats smoking, picking up four hits in the first inning, which allowed us to score three runs. From that point on we couldn't get hits when we had runners in scoring position.

We couldn't generate any offense today. We didn't swing the bats and when we did, we popped it up for an out most of the time.

We really are starting to grow up now. All season long, I've been telling them to get their bats going and that other stuff will take care of itself. The easy part is throwing strikes and playing defense. We haven't done that consistently this year, but boy, we sure did it well today. We did everything well today.

We played a very good team in San Diego this weekend and we knew at some point they were going to make a run after we tamed their bats in the first two games. They jumped out early in the final game but we had an answer and another good comeback in us. Our team is playing very confident right now, they believe in each other and that's great to see.

We have to take our hats off to them. It's tough, because they swing bats well, too, and when you get good pitching and swing the sticks like that, good thing will happen. And that is what happened for them.

We have to swing the bats better and put the ball in play, and our guys will find a way to do that.

We finally got the monkey off our back. We played looser and I think that helped. We made quite a few mental mistakes early, but our bats were hot and our pitching is coming around.

We've done a nice job at the plate. There's going to be ups and downs and you just have to try to enjoy the times we're swinging the bats well. The last three games we've done a good job competing and putting up runs.

Trent threw about like he always does. He kept us in the game until our bats were ready. I'm very pleased with his performance.

Yeah, we have a good defense. But with the cold weather, a field with no fence and these bats you're never comfortable unless you're up eight or nine.

We needed that. We need something positive to happen offensively. We needed to go out there and crack the bats around a little bit because we haven't done that much.

We needed that. We needed something positive. We hadn't been swinging the bats all that much.

We have not been healthy until the last three games. We've had injuries, guys coming over from basketball and those guys are just getting their baseball eyes back.

We'll have a good mix of young and old. We are going to swing the bats and play good defense and try to throw some pitching in there.

You'd like to have some more offensive production but we hit a little more than we've hit the past week or so. We've seen some good competition and hopefully those bats will start coming around a little more for us.

We didn't really swing the bats that well. We took advantage of what they gave us. That's the whole point of the game. It'd have worse if they had done that and we didn't take advantage of it.

Today was the first day we really swung the bats aggressively. We have a lot of potential but we're young. If we can put it all together and become more consistent, we could be tough.

We didn't swing the bats the way we should have, but we did have our key people up in the key situations, and we were able to score some runs.

We have games the next two days. It was big for us.

I like being close to the bats.

I have an Alka-Seltzer bat. You know-plop, plop, fizz, fizz, when the pitcher sees me walking up there he says, 'Oh, what a relief it is'.

We had some pretty good at-bats off Carpenter. We just couldn't find any holes. That's the way it goes sometimes. We were able to get some guys on but weren't able to get them in early.

We did that, we just didn't get the big hit to get them in.

Them bats is smart. They use radar!
