Offensively, we still have the philosophy of we want to score every inning. We want to get seven runs a game. We're not always doing that, but we have had some timely hits this year. The guys are working hard. They're excited. They have confidence.

Last year, we could hit the ball. That was our strength. We had inexperienced pitchers, but what is nice is that they're back. We left them in at difficult times last year so they could learn and they have improved because of it.
