If you get the bye, you save your pitching and pitching is at a premium in a short series. This is a big week and we're excited about that. We're playing a really good team, and that will prepare us for the following week and the tournament.

We didn't get here by accident. We played a lot of kids early and we weren't afraid to lose some (non-league) games to find out what we've got in the long run because you want to know when you get to the end. We've been playing well the last third of the season, and we're not going to experiment anymore.
