We should be more used to the play. Last year, the younger kids got beat up. But this year, we should be tougher.

Baby-sitting doesn't feel like a job. It's fun. I like kids. I just play with the kids.

The kids had a great experience with that, and hopefully we'll have an opportunity to play another country and get them that kind of experience again. This is an opportunity to play one of the top five countries in the world in regards to international softball, and that's something that probably won't ever happen again in your career.

We talked to the younger kids, and told them they needed to close the gap for the older guys. They did their job.

It's a nice stadium and it has that new turf everybody seems to be going to. The kids are really going to enjoy it.

The whole thing came together from September to December last year. It's amazing to see so many of these kids now, because they're all a year older.
