Bases loaded, nobody out, you've got to find a way to score. Against a team like this, you've got to come away with at least one run. They very rarely give you those kinds of opportunities.

When Zach gets pitched to hit, he's as good a hitter as we have in the league. And Chris has proven that he can hit anybody as well. So, it's a nice, it's a nice situation. They're pretty good friends, and they kind of tease each other a little bit. It's a pretty good three-four combination.

I was interested to see where people would rank us, and obviously we're fifth or sixth. They obviously don't have a lot of respect for what we have returning. We'll talk about that occasionally with our players on days where we lack a little motivation.

It's an important game for the players on both teams because they know each other well. They also want to perform well, knowing it's going to be one of the better crowds they play before this season.

We have to be intelligent with our pitchers and not get too aggressive. We wouldn't want to use somebody we want available for the weekend, too. Both coaching staffs would agree on that.

I never saw more trouble catching fly balls. First we had some issues with it, then they had issues with it in the eighth inning. It appeared the wind wasn't blowing all that hard, but it must have got above the grandstand and created more issues.

If you look at talent alone, Pat shouldn't be doing what he's doing. But he has a different drive than most players in our program. He's a grinder.

If another guy throws 30 pitches one day, I know I'm not going to be able to use him the next day. With Pat, if he throws 30 pitches, and 15 are right-handed and 15 are left-handed, I know I can come back to him tomorrow.
