Keith Guttin Quotations

We're going to need people to throw well this week. That's the key.

When we get that done, we'll start turning it up as a team.

He was cruising and he's your guy. You want to give him an opportunity to get out of it, but I probably should have got him out of there the hitter before I did.

He has a very mature approach. He's not loud, but he's competitive. Very competitive.

He got it up and the wind helped. It kept going.

He was in command and the cold didn't bother him at all.

I thought he was getting good swings all day. He didn't have much to show for it, until the end.

I thought he pitched OK against them last time. He gave up a couple big hits late down there, but I thought he pitched well. We got a good effort from him tonight.

That's three quality starts in a row where he's had command of his fastball. His confidence is soaring.

We just couldn't push a run across when we needed to.

We were able to get a lot of guys in and pile up some hits. It was good to see a lot of guys contribute.

We needed innings with the league opener two days away. Jake gave us a quality start. He's going to have to step up and be a mid-week guy for us.

We gave them some runs. ... You've got to help your pitcher by making some plays.

We'll just have to wait and see how long it takes to get the swelling down and flexibility back in his finger.

We have got to get the guys who are proven hitters back to where they should be.

But just because you're at home doesn't mean anyone's going to give you anything. You have to play well to take advantage of it.

Those two are going to be very good players in this program.

You're always going to have ups and downs, injuries and illnesses. It's all about perseverance. You've got to keep plugging. Sometimes the puzzle comes together at the end, if you are doing everything right.

This is the time you want to get hot and play your best. We feel like our lineup has kind of settled in a little bit. We just want to try to keep this lineup going.

A big at-bat by Matt. He's mentally tough and didn't let his earlier at-bats affect him.

It's good to see all three of those guys give us quality starts. Ross is a pretty confident guy. He's made a lot of progress in the last year.

It was nice to put up that two on the board after the one. It kind of relaxed you.

This is college baseball at its highest level and it takes some time to figure yourself out and figure out what (opponents) are trying to do to you.

I don't know if we can build on a loss, but I don't think it'll bother us come Friday at noon.

He's always the same. You never know if things are going good or bad by looking at him. He's consistent and goes about his business.

The first three innings, he looked as sharp as he has in a while.
