The park's doing everything it can. If they can't make it happen there, maybe they can't make it happen. Normally, the park is a stronghold for a species.

There were some goofy decisions that had to be made that wouldn't normally wouldn't have been made. Maybe I need to start doing some more of that stuff. [We played] every inning like it was the ninth inning.

I didn't think that that was going to happen, ... Maybe what I need is to get up and give more than I had tonight. But I'm really pleased with the way I swam.

Normally I probably wouldn't have been too sad about that record. It's the way we went 3-3. We started off 3-0, then dropped three to end it. For a lot of guys last year, it was a new experience. You can have a loss or setback and still do well enough to win your conference.

That's something we're going to have be prepared for. That's going to happen. If we keep (getting hits), then maybe they'll pitch to him.

That's what his nickname is, ain't it? That's what I believe should happen to him.
