I think it is a great thing that we've got all these guys competing for starting positions. It keeps everybody on their toes and sharp. When you are rebuilding a team like we are, you need to take a good, long look at as many players as you can to find the right combinations.

It was a real good week for us. Our pitching held up and we looked good in key spots at the plate. With the amount of youth on our squad this year, we fully understand it is going to take time to get everybody on the same page. So far, we're real pleased with our start.

Coming from behind is always a nice way to win. The kids are playing hard. We were able to get the first two guys on and that really applied the pressure to their pitcher.

It's going to be an interesting season. We want to be as competitive as we can be on a game-to-game basis. I think this group is going to get better with each game. If we can remained composed and cut down on mistakes, we're going to be OK.

We've got a bunch of arms to put out there. But the question is experience. These guys will be getting that experience as they go along.

We've got a few guys who are swinging the bats really well. Hopefully, the hitting becomes contagious. We'd like to see some more guys contribute offensively.

It was nice to be able to get Bert a bit of lead early in the game. We had a number of guys deliver key hits with men on base. That's the way our offense has to work this season. We need to get guys on, move them over, and deliver in clutch spots. We did a good job of that in this game.

He struggled a little with his control also, but managed to avoid getting hurt by the walks. It is still early in the season and our pitchers are a little inexperienced. In time, they are going to get better and be around the plate more.

John and Ricky did a majority of the pitching for us last year. If we had a big game we needed to win, one of those two guys were the ones we looked to. Replacing seven starters is not going to be easy.
