We really struggled at the beginning of the year. A lot of pitchers took a beating. We couldn't miss a bat in the early season. It wasn't so much opposing batters hitting the ball hard; it was bloopers, singles, errors and then a double in the gap. We've stepped it up over the last month.

We're at the beginning of being able to start something really good here. There is a need, so we'll see how far we can take it from here.
