This definitely is a different style. We like to play a little more small ball. We have a different philosophy this season. Ours isn't any better. But we have to mold our philosophy to the kids we have.

We had talked about it earlier. It's kind of a risky thing to do, but we weren't going to let him beat us. He's too good a hitter.

The guys came in this fall and bought into things. This spring, we haven't executed things we normally try to execute. We've got to start swinging the bats better. We're not scoring enough runs to win games at this level.

We really got beat down in some games last year. We have a lot of things to overcome from last year. It's going to take some time.

You've got to go right there. It take a perfect throw and it was still bang-bang. You've got to get credit to the kid. Sometimes, when you're not hitting it too well, as a coach you want to try to make things happen.

You would love for (Robertson) to be hitting .300 with a lot of walks. He's hit the ball hard. Hopefully they'll start finding some holes.
