00:00We have a couple of inside-the-circle benchmarks that they met,
00:04so I was pretty positive at the end of the game with the guys.
00:09We'll take the feelings out of it.
00:11You know, spotting those guys six runs is a tall order,
00:15but enough spirit and enough fight there to, I think,
00:19make them have to open up their bullpen and get to the ball game.
00:22Does that help tomorrow to win a series or not?
00:25That will be decided tomorrow,
00:27but I think there were still some benchmarks that were met.
00:31I thought the last three-run homer with a couple of walks in front of it was just huge.
00:35We've avoided that for the most part,
00:37but every one of our starters have earned some rope from me
00:42and was just trying to figure out how to wiggle out
00:44and move it one more frame to not open up our bullpen premature.
00:49But nonetheless, they took good swings.
00:52They were in between or only had to think about two pitches.
00:56I don't know if they were guessing right or found a little tip or an advantage,
01:01but that stuff kind of happens.
01:04But the guys hung in there and fought.
01:07Once we did open up the bullpen,
01:08I was tickled to death for us to be where we were really in the seventh, eighth, and ninth.
01:13We needed to do just a little more damage in one of those frames
01:18to get on the right side of that deal.
01:20But good effort.
01:21The bats the second half of the game were better than the first half of the game.
01:24I think we even started with the bases loaded, nobody out there in the first
01:28and couldn't scratch anything.
01:31They struck us out a little bit, and we struck them out about the same.
01:34But I think the timing of some of that happened dug a hole for us a little bit.
01:41Kulik, who I think you just visited with, I was tickled to death with him.
01:44Cormier, I think that's first SEC action.
01:48I can't remember if he pitched last weekend, but that was good for him.
01:53And, again, they meet some benchmarks, then they deserve it.
01:58We actually dropped Hetzler, you know, in the ball game, thinking it might work.
02:02It got close, not quite.
02:04But that was a big hole to come back from, and, you know, we'll decide to sucker tomorrow.
02:11We'll see you next time.
02:11We'll see you next time.
02:11We'll see you next time.
02:11We'll see you next time.
02:12We'll see you next time.
