00:00 >> The kind of the end of a really good weekend.
00:02 We've talked in here, I feel like every game about just trying to be a better
00:06 version of ourselves and play cleaner, play better, be more efficient with what
00:09 we're doing.
00:10 And I thought we did that really all weekend.
00:11 I thought going back to really Wednesday's game,
00:15 I think we just we consistently ran off really good at bats.
00:18 And it seems like whoever we plug in to run off good at bats, Mason Sweeney had
00:21 a great day today.
00:23 Even as outs that were loud, he hits the balls hard.
00:26 Cam puts a good swing on it, catches the ball really well behind the plate.
00:29 So just continuing to get production out of the offense was huge.
00:32 Obviously, TJ had a great finish to the game today.
00:35 Got on time and hammered some balls there.
00:38 And we had good pitching, man.
00:39 We held them to one run and Greg kind of did it with one pitch today.
00:43 Really, we were talking about the game,
00:44 he didn't really have great feel for his secondary stuff.
00:45 And he kept attacking with the heater and you saw a lot of foul balls with it.
00:49 And that's just the way that fastball plays, man.
00:51 It's a really good heater and did a great job.
00:54 They get one, two out hitting the first and that's all he gave them.
00:57 And got into a mess, Austin Morris gets in a little bit of a mess and
01:00 doesn't panic, pitches way out.
01:01 Braylon Myers, kind of a self-inflicted mess with an error to start that thing.
01:06 But pitches out of it and we hold them to one run and
01:08 obviously get a big swing from TJ there at the end.
01:10 So just a really good weekend of baseball.
01:13 And I think now we kind of turn our attention to Tuesday and UAB, good team.
01:18 Team is playing pretty good, they're throwing the ball pretty good right now.
01:20 And it's gonna be the first road test for these guys.
01:22 We played all fall at home, we played all preseason at home.
01:25 Now this is the start of four straight games on the road.
01:27 So it's gonna be really important that we come out and say to who we are and
01:31 go play a really tough brand of baseball,
01:33 which I thought we really played this weekend.
