I thought we played good, but they were just a little better than we were.

I thought we were respectable against Morrison.

Brighton played great. They're tough. I thought their pressure was very effective. They're very athletic, and they pass very well.

He'll get some innings under his belt [and] pitch in some big-league games. Our thought process is to send him to Triple-A, put him in the rotation and have him to continue to develop. If he continues to do well, there's a chance realistically [that] we'll see him in Houston at some point during the season. We don't expect that to happen out of Spring Training. We're going to keep an open mind about it, but realistically, we see him gong to Triple-A.

I thought that was big for us. There's nothing like putting some runs across the board early. It gave the team a lift and I'm sure it relaxed our young pitchers some too.

I thought it would be a neat way to give back to the community and a great way to promote the show.
