It's time to prepare for finals but this is good review too. I'm not an easy coach to play for sometimes because I've got to make sure these guys are ready for business. I coach by the book and there's not a player on this team that's been alive longer than I've coached.

We're swinging that bat big now and we're playing the way we are supposed to be playing. This is a good group of guys and I expect us to do big things as we go on.

We're going to score some runs this year, you can count on that. Timmy is a big key to our club, but we have a really potent offense overall so we'll be quite all right. We've got a good freshman core and the big hitters to drive them home so I like our chances. We are going to compete for one the top spots in our league and before this year is over, they'll know the names of these guys.

Were playing for keeps now. We are going to treat every game as if it is game seven of the World Series.

This will be huge. This is the reason you come to Ohio State, to play in games like this.

The problem of becoming a big time gambler, becoming a house, is that it makes you a target, and Mr. Lee had become a target.
