On takeaways from the Shriners Classic...
"Yeah
we played really well. I thought we hit the ball better than we have in
a long time. Some pitches didn't go our way, and they made us pay for
it. I think overall we played good baseball, and I think that's going to
transition to more wins down the road."
On what the team's focus this week and bouncing back...
"We
are just going to continue to play good baseball. We know if we play
good baseball then the outcome is going to be how we want it."
On his approach at the plate...
"I
always have guys on base it seems like when I get up, so it's really
just trying to drive those runs in to help the team score runs, and when
you get a pitch to handle, you can get somebody to pay for it and when
you score a run it helps everybody out."
On the Aggie freshmen..
"It's
a hard-working group. It's a group that's not going to give up or a
group that's going to want to be the best. We know in order to be the
best we have to put the work in. We have guys that come in early and
take ground balls. We have guys that hit early, so everyone is working
together to be the best we can."
On why he chose A&M...
"I came down for a baseball game, actually, and just the buzz and the electricity in the air was crazy. It was a lot of fun."
On his emotions when he stepped out on the field for the first time...
"Oh
there were a lot of butterflies that's for sure. There was a lot of
butterflies, but once Brigham threw the first pitch they were mostly gone
but it was just a lot of fun."
On his favorite part about playing on Olsen field...
"They
are loud. There is some funny stuff they say, but all in all, they are
loud and behind you the whole way. They are going to pick you up if
you're down, and they will keep rooting for you. They are going to stay
behind you the whole way."
