Oregon vs. Arizona Game #3 Postgame Quotes
Danny Pulfer #1
“The baseball gods didn't shine on us this year. We'll work on it over the offseason and we'll get better. Division I is just a different game. It's a grind that you have to learn to work through. We're going to be losing key guys this year and we're going to have to replace some true leaders on our team.”
“We will come back and be a much better, more experienced team. We will be strong and hungry for the opportunity. Next year starts right now.”
"It's been a long season. We struggled and had some hard times - look at today, our approach at the plate was much better than theirs and the game just didn't reward us.”
“The little things will be better next year, the details like creating signs and learning the system.”
“The one thing our team needs is a power hitter., A big first baseman that can generate runs with one swing of the bat. Right now were playing picket fence offense, where we get on and bunt the runner over, and hope for a hit, and score. Our goal is to score one run per inning.”
“We never gave up this season, we did our best to give it our all each time we went out.”
Head Coach George Horton
“This whole season was an ongoing learning environment, with learning what buttons to push and how to interact with my team and staff. To be honest it was frustrating. I want to relay to everyone I'm here, they haven't seen the real George Horton yet. I cant wait till we can start up again.”
“The focal point of our team was our young pitchers, they really have a chance to be spectacular.”
“Our team needs some hitters, strength, and toughness. We need guys that can swing the bat and generate runs. We need to have some attitude. We have nice kids, but sometimes I think there too nice. We need a guy that will knock someone on there butt if they have to.”
“This game we had eight quality at-bats in a row and we only scored one run. This game doesn't always treat you well all the time. We need to learn to fight back. The grind was long, longer than we thought it would be."
