As much as everyone wants to play as much as possible, the real goal of the season is to win as many games as possible.

In too many games we played five or six innings of great baseball and then just cruised through the ninth. To be the dominant team we want to be we need to keep the pressure on our opponents every inning.

Our offense was pretty amazing for how cold it was.

It'll be a little bit more competitive than it has in the past.

We didn't play bad at Central (last week), we just didn't execute very well and turnovers were an issue. Now we need to regroup for this week.

I have a 'Play the melody' philosophy. It means don't over-arrange, don't make life difficult. Just play the melody -- and do it the simplest way possible.
