It didn't affect me much. It's frustrating as setter sometimes. It's something you've got to deal with and figure out how to score points with it.

It was emotional in the beginning (and) a few tears were shed. We knew ... this isn't the end of the road for us. We treated it like we had to come out and make sure we won on Senior Night but we've got to keep going from here.

It can't be frustrating, because it would affect how I pitch. When something happens, you wipe it clean, and you let the guy know that it's all right. We are going to live again. We are going to have another shot.

The deal I made wasn't going to affect their graduations. If the team goes deep into the playoffs, and if it's a problem, they'll be back in school.

He's been our tempo setter. You know what you're getting with him everyday.

I think everybody has idiosyncrasies, ... You just do your deal and constantly figure out a way to do it better.
