Ron Polk Quotes (27 Quotes)

It was like a football atmosphere out there. I thought it was the 50-yard line on the sidelines of an Ole Miss-Mississippi State football game.

The good part is that we've won 11 games to start the season. The bad part is, they were all home games.

I wish we could bank some of these runs for the next day.

A lot of things need to go right to win 14 straight times. But I think a lot of it isn't because we've been lucky. A lot of it has been because we've been pretty good.

We're not down on them. We're just trying to get the game under control.

Tomorrow, we'll practice, but it won't be a long practice. Then, we'll get ready for a fine Tennessee team this weekend.

It is not panic time.

We've got to have him. He's too good of a hitter (not to contribute).

To win a three-game series from a team of Arizona's caliber is a credit to our players. Arizona has some outstanding pitchers and we did a nice job of putting the ball in play when we needed to.

I'd hate to see our batting average with the bases loaded.

We've played good teams, but give me a call in a few weeks and I'll let you know how our pitching is.

He got all of it. He's seeing the ball pretty good. We needed a hero.

He used to be a power pitcher, but after shoulder surgery he's had some hard luck.

I'm really proud of this team. It's not easy to go 16-0. The ball can take some funny bounces some times. But for the most part we've hit, pitched and defended pretty well.

We're going to play the game somewhere. I'll let the athletic directors handle that. I ain't gonna tell you Smith-Wills is a better ballpark than the new one, but it's been good to us over the years. They've done everything we've asked. They put in a new (playing surface), they put in new lights. I think it's been great for the people down there.

We may be the worst team in the history of college baseball with the bases loaded. We couldn't move them.

That's the tough thing about winning 18 in a row. They're down there, thinking it's the end of the world. They wanted to see how long this thing could keep going.

This was a good series for us. Arkansas State has a nice ball club and they have shown they are capable of beating good teams. They gave us a tussle this weekend, and today we had to make some plays and pitch well.

I'm not down on the opponents, but most of those opponents were .500 clubs or below .500 clubs. Like even (Arizona), a normal perennial power, is struggling right now because of young players, so I don't know if we were that good when we were 18-0.

Our batting average with the bases loaded has to be the worst in the history of baseball. To be 22-3 and get out that much with the bases loaded is a miracle. But it's going to get better.

They're a good team. They wanted to win as much as we wanted to win. Joseph Hunter got the big hit for us.

When we had the 6-3 lead, they were counting the 19th victory. They thought they were the best, and they're still the best in my mind. But they thought they were invincible, maybe. But no one is invincible in sports.

It's a great streak, it's legitimate, and I'm happy for Thomas. But I know he'd rather trade the streak for a win.

We give them three after our home run to go up. That was big.

It's early. But if I had to pick one poll for us to be No. 1 in, I'd pick Baseball America. Those people really know what they're doing.

They found real estate, and we didn't. Give them credit.

It was a matter of time. It's the nature of the game, on the road, in the Southeastern Conference. I think when we had a 6-3 lead, (players) were counting the 19th victory.
