Mike Trapasso Good Quotations

Obviously they are a very good club. They are nationally ranked and have one the top two or three pitchers in the country.

He just didn't make good pitches, plain and simple.

Matt is growing into a leader, working with the staff and pushing the tempo. If Esteban hits like he did the last month a year ago, he will be a good draft. We need him to get hot.

Steven was not good. He was up, and you combine that with a very good Arkansas club. You tip your hat to them.

Landon knows his role and knows he is our catcher of the future. He is a confident kid. He has done a very good job as a freshman.

I thought Steven was a little empty. He was at 106 pitches and Frost was getting good swings off of him. Steven was getting a little tired and we had all the faith in Rich to get the job done.

When we're going good we tend to keep going back to the same place (in this case California Pizza Kitchen) every Friday.

It was a case of us not showing up. I'll give credit to their pitcher, but we didn't show up as a team from the first pitch. We were lifeless. The better team by far was wearing gray today. The final score wasn't even that close a game. They believe that they're a good club. We played tonight like all we believe in is what we're reading.

While it's nice to get some national recognition, all that really recognizes is that we got off to a good start our first 14 games and nothing more. Our guys understand that. They're not going to be all that fired up about it.

I'm not particularly happy with the way we're playing. We had five runs on 11 hits, but we left 12 on base. We have been in cruise control since Western Illinois. We are fortunate to be 6-2 over that stretch. I told our guys we're playing very mediocre baseball. It's going to catch up to us. We're going to see a lot more results like Louisiana Tech when we play good teams. We get a lead early then go into cruise control. We didn't get to 19-8 by going through the motions.

I have to give credit to San Diego State. I felt they were a good offensive club.

Good players like Matt don't have two bad years in a row. He really put too much pressure on himself in his draft year.

You can't ask for a better game. We executed and played a pretty complete game. We had a good approach at the plate against one of college's premier pitchers.

We had a good approach and swung the bats well early in the game. I was concerned in the eighth and ninth when we got a runner to third with one out and couldn't get them in. You know those things will come back to haunt you, but it didn't tonight. This team (Fresno State) is very talented and every single guy is capable of hitting a home run here.

We just showed up and that was about it. This team isn't good enough to just throw their gloves on the field and win. It was our worst effort of the year.

He came in and threw strikes. He's been a little inconsistent on the year, but he works hard and he's got good stuff.
