I'm awfully proud of the fact that they have progressed, and that we have gotten better and we have gotten five wins.

I would have preferred that he had gotten some live snaps and some live butterflies (last week), but that's not the case. As soon as he gets hit by one of those white helmets, he'll be ready to go.

He's awfully proud of it.

I'm awfully proud to coach these guys. They dropped a lot of hours and a lot of sweat, and they deserve this moment.

I couldn't be happier. This is not my lowest round, but I'm awfully proud of this one.

I'm very proud of Brian the way he has progressed over the years, especially since he's been the everyday catcher. He's improved in his offensive part of the game, he's improved in his defensive part of the game and he's improved in his overall play -- pitch-calling. There's no reason why, and I expect him to continue to make that type of progress and continue to improve overall. Not just in his offense. I still think Brian has room to improve defensively and calling of games and handling the pitching staff in situations.
