Our success this year will depend on how well our pitching comes around. Brian had good success as a freshman, so we expect that to continue and improve. I've seen some real good things from Ryan and Rhett as well.

Brian (Thompson) was a little uncomfortable out there throwing off the flat ground, and that helped account for all the walks we gave up. It's also the first game of the season, and we'll get better out on the mound. I saw some good things today from our pitchers and we'll improve on that.

Woody has been pitching better than Brian. We'll talk about it.

He's a freshman so he's still learning. There wasn't a lot of contact made on (Davis), but Brian did kind of brush by him a bit as he flew by. In that situation, he needs to just put a hand up in his face without touching him.

They'll have a good team this year. They've got good relief pitching and starting pitching now, and they've got some bats.

We play up tempo. The only drawback to it was that we didn't do a very good job of looking into the post. We settled too much off the dribble tonight.
