Tim Sinicki Quotations

I don't know what we could do strategically or tactically different. I thought overall both teams pitched extremely well, it's just a matter of figuring ourselves out offensively and consistently. Maybe we could have done a bit better defensively but at the same time I feel we did a good job pitching ourselves out of it.

We swung the bats pretty well, but it's hard to claw back when you're in such a huge hole.

He's a very cerebral pitcher and he knows what he does best. To his credit, he hasn't let anything go to his head. He's the same kid he was when the streak started.

I think we have a more balanced attack than anything else. There will be days when we need to out slug someone, and there will be days we'll do with our pitching. The team is just so balanced.

I thought we did a good job today. We did a lot with two-out hits. That's something key to winning.

This streak is borderline silly right now. It's not supposed to be like that in this era of bigger players and aluminum bats.

Of course you want to win every series at home that you can, but as the weekend goes on you adjust your goals. After you lose the first one you wanna win the next three, after you lose the second one the goals change again and the goal was to split the series. That's a really good ball club right there and for us to have some success against them is a good sign of what we can be.

Zach Groh has been so dominant this spring. He's continued to recover and it's great to have him back out there.

Conference play is a totally different level of intensity. The stakes are higher. It's hard to put into words how big it truly is.

He threw great today. He was a big pitcher for us last year, and we expect the same from him this year.

The two-spot has really been a tough thing for us to settle on this season. We decided to put one of our best hitters in there and see what happens.

The conference is so balanced and so wide open this year that it doesn't matter who we play; whether they're last place or first place, we gotta win them all.

It's the same core of guys as last year. It's a pretty veteran group. We're hoping to build off last year's experience.

We just try to get better every time we take the field. We try to fix the mistakes and just keep doing what we're doing right, so that we're as ready as we can be moving into conference play next week.
