After the year we had, we didn't want to lose in the first round. It was very important to win this first round.

We've always said that you can't win the league in the first round of the season but you can lose it. I think that is the great part of playing in the NCC.

We were very upset to lose in the first round of the playoffs last year, but it happened, so we moved on and focused on getting ready for this season.

I think we need to sit back and reflect on this year and see where we want to go. But Reggie's a free agent ... So outfield would obviously be an area we'll have to address. We've got a couple free agent pitchers, so we have to look at that, too.

It's always tough when you lose in the first round. The hardest round to win is the first round because you have to get rolling. Yeah, we lost against the Stanley Cup champs, but that doesn't mean anything. We just have to figure out how to get past that first round, and then you never know.

I think you need to turn the roster over. I think turning a percentage of your roster over every year is healthy.
