That's very impressive with the competition. I'm very proud of both of them.

Our team understands that we're going to be facing great competition from all over the state. If we can do well in this meet, we should be in for a really good season.

The competition is good. Everyone is getting their reps and everyone is getting better. In the long run, it'll be good.

I think I'm part of the competition. Nothing's decided yet.

I tried to treat it like a regular game, and not stress too much about competition or the fact that these guys are Triple-A ball players. I just wanted to come in here and have some fun, and I still wanted to have some quality at-bats before this weekend.

The kids are ready to play. It goes beyond getting the pads. They want the competition.
