Postgame Press Conference

Mississippi State - 13, Vanderbilt - 2

Q. What is the mindset of this team tonight? It didn't go your way, but you obviously have a ton to play for tomorrow. How do you turn it around, refocus, get ready to go 24 hours from now?

CJ RODRIGUEZ: Just gotta have a short memory. I think we need to wash it out as fast as we can and get it done tomorrow.

Q. All the pitchers that pitched in today's game were freshmen. So how do you guys, true freshmen pitchers, three starts, outings, like this in such a hostile environment --

CJ RODRIGUEZ: This is my first time here, too. I've got to kind of go with them and support them as best as I can. But we didn't throw strikes tonight. We've got to be better.

Q. What did Coach say to you guys afterwards?

CJ RODRIGUEZ: Just that we need to wash it out as fast as we can, get back, get some rest, reset and let's go out tomorrow. Pretty short.
