27 Quotes by Buddy Gouldsmith

We have to get a quality start out of Tabor. Our bullpen has worked hard and we need to get five or six innings out of him and only give up two or three runs.

Maybe we needed that kind of tail kicking to wake us up.

Certainly, if you ask me, I'd rather be 8-4 than 4-8, but we've played a great schedule. We've played some real good clubs both historically and currently; teams that have played in Omaha and that consistently play in the postseason.

Keith's a contact guy and one thing he won't do is strike out. I didn't want us to go down swinging in that situation. I wanted contact, but I didn't know he was going to hit a grand slam.

Keith has been coming through for us consistently, but we need somebody else to step up. I think our best baseball is ahead of us, but we can't do it with one guy. We need to have a second guy come around and help carry us.

I think we've got a couple guys in the middle of that lineup who could show some power in Bonnell and Miller.

Jim is a good friend of mine, but we want to beat their tail off just like anybody else we play.
