When we're playing well, we're usually on the run. If we can rebound and play solid defense, things are going well. Our defense leads to offense.

We can't let them play their up-tempo style. We won't be able to run with them. They are playing well, despite having lost three, 1,000 (career) point scorers from last season. They haven't really missed a beat. We need to slow this game down.

We're usually inside eating dinner when they come out.

Our defense was solid and Smith pitched a good game.

We play better defense than we do offense. We try to score off our defense. We concentrate a lot more on our defense. We've been working on it a lot the last couple of weeks and that's helped us a lot.

We didn't play really good defense. That's why we were down 4-2. But the guys realized that after the first, we had to play better. We had to tighten things up.
