We faced one of the best pitchers in the country today, a tremendous competitor and a class act, and he was magnificent. It was a great college baseball game. We made it interesting in the ninth, but we were just too far in the hole at that point.
You can say what you want about his stuff, but his makeup is off the charts. And he has great stuff. That's what I told him.
I heard him yell at [All-America first baseman Aaron] Bates the other day. Not many people yell at Aaron Bates . That's when I knew Caleb Mangum had arrived.
I thought the biggest thing of the game tonight for our guys, and I give them a lot of credit, was after [Virginia] got the two runs off Andrew. Knowing how tough Doolittle is - he one of the toughest pitchers in this league - to bounce right back out there and get two runs, that to me was a big point in this game.
It's a dual-sided thing. As much as we knew in our dugout that we could come back against East Carolina, they knew it too. Maybe we didn't do it all by ourselves.
That guy, if he's not the first pick in the country, I'd be awfully surprised.
Unbelievable. He was great. It was the best I've seen him -- I've had Gibby for three years, and he's had some great performances, including a no-hitter against Maryland, but today was the best performance I've seen him have -- total control, total command. ... He was outstanding.
We've got high expectations this year. We like to think we're going to play for a national championship, but if we're going to play for a national championship, we've got to play better than this.
