You don't want them to be around a bunch of people because then you'll have a whole team infected. But they should be all right.

I would like to play a game or two in Montgomery, like we used to do. It's a beautiful ballpark and, if they'll have us, we'd like to play there at least once a year.

I'd say it's a pretty big loss for us. He was well on his way back to pitching for us again.

It's a game of inches. The inches just haven't gone our way. I don't think we've played exceptionally well, but we've done enough at times.

Those are the guys that are throwing well. That's about all we've used consistently so far.

We're trying to get another bat or two going. We're trying to solidify things and this early, it doesn't exactly have to be fully solidified, but we're not as far as I'd like to be.

I never put much stock in preseason polls, especially when it is the first season in a new conference. I appreciate the respect shown our program by the other coaches in the league, but everyone knows it is where you finish the season that counts the most.

It is a game of inches, but we just couldn't get one to go our way tonight. Still, I am proud of our group. They played hard tonight and showed that they are learning how to compete.

He's a guy that knows the strike zone well. We'll be giving him more opportunities.
