Robby Wine Guys Quotations

We're going to solidify a lineup. There was a lot of things that went on last weekend. We just wanted to see what guys were made of. We realized that some of the freshmen weren't quite ready yet, and I think in the same aspect, we have some older guys that maybe started wondering where they stand with the team.

Unless there is an injury somewhere along the line, our starting lineup will be set. Guys will settle in and not feel the pressure of having to get a hit to stay in the lineup the next day. We've been communicating all along, but there's still that edge of, 'Hey, I gotta get a couple hits here or I'm not going to play.' And it's not like that. We just said, 'Everybody win jobs,' and that's what they did.

Hopefully we can get guys like that to the mound and keep them fresh and hopefully it gets us some hitters back on track.

Our pitching didn't hold guys down as far as getting other guys in that we wanted to. I planned on splitting the game evenly between some guys, but it didn't work out that way.

I'm sitting there wondering if maybe we don't have the guys we thought we had. It's a gut-check time for these guys, and I hope they wake up and start really looking themselves in the mirror. We're not playing like we're capable of, for whatever reason.

There was just a different tempo to the game today. It felt like our guys had confidence, and they had a plan and they stuck with it.

It's growing on me; at first I thought it was just a fad. It's kind of interesting. The guys that are playing in it see it as a competition, and they're playing to win.

By far, by far. There is more talent on this team, and we're further ahead. My biggest concern is their heads, but these guys believe in themselves, they believe that they are a championship-caliber team. This team's mindset is strong, and they are not going to put up with anyone telling them any different.
