Todd Pridy Quotations

Matt was at his best, his stuff was very good, and he pounded in a lot of first strikes which is always impressive.

I'm a little concerned about the defense. Our defense needs to shore itself up.

From my conversations with him, he's having a great spring. He's a lefty that throws hard. He has a lot of potential, a lot of upside. His work ethic ? I'd challenge people to match it. He's tunnel vision. He knows what he wants. Hopefully the stars line up for him. He's a great individual.

Jason threw exceptionally well. He had great command of his fastball and mixed his off-speed in well. He kept them off balance and had a real strong outing.

Matt did really well to start the game, Ryan Brown did an exceptional job going right after the top of their lineup, and Hagan is fearless at the end of games.

We played error-free baseball. We played pretty clean ball. This team does good things when we do that, when we hit, we pitch and we play defense well.

We haven't had a game this tight all year. I feel very fortunate that we won this game but at the same time I also think we earned it because we hit a lot of balls at them hard.

Today we challenged them to be more aggressive. They did a better job today.

We just have to put together a clean game. When we do that we usually do well.

We had a decent outing today. It was fun to watch.

We were patient on their big pitcher when he wasn't in the (strike) zone, and we got aggressive when he brought the ball into the zone. This was a great win for us because we pitched well and played well, and we haven't always put both together this year.

You expect better when you get seven runs and 12 hits against Davis.

Ted put the fingers down and Matt did exactly what the game plan was. Matt sure pitched a heck of a game today and it was nice to see. He works real hard on his pitching and it showed today.

Teddy pitched exceptionally strong. Our errors did come back and hurt us. Otherwise it was a good baseball game. It came down to who played the cleanest defensively and we did not.

This is a smart and athletic team that pushes themselves daily and has set their own expectation level very high.

They didn't quit. We scored first, we had them down the majority of the game. They were tenacious about it. That's not to say we (gave up). We missed some opportunities. We threw the ball around a bit. They came back and took it. There's more to it than that last inning. This was a tight ball game.

Davis is tenacious at the plate, they pressured our defense, and we didn't execute defensively in a few key spots.

The field has taken a beating in the last week or more. The way we've been getting the weather, there have been enough breaks in between. The big thing is keeping the infield level. It's taken some work but the outfield is not necessarily in prime playing condition.

I'm happy that we got another quality pitching performance. The offense came alive and there's a 0 in the error column. If we don't get in our own way this team has a chance to do good things. Today was an example of them putting all three facets together and we came out with a good result.

The coaching staff is optimistic about this year's club. Nine of our 18 players are returning from last year's roster and we have some quality additions who will also have an immediate impact.
