I don't know the word -- she is just such an athlete, volleyball-wise. Even when she wasn't hitting, she was putting it in spots for other people.

It was a pleasant surprise, but we were expecting to play Wheeler. Wheeler's been dominant for so long that's the team you expect to be here.

I think people are recognizing us, but I don't think anyone's scared of us.

We can make sure to get him game ready hitting-wise. He went through minimal rehab when he came back last year and hit 12 home runs in 100 at bats. I take that as an indicator he'll be fine.

A word to the wise is sufficient

It's always great to get word that you've been picked up for another season, ... We're really hitting our stride and have great story lines already mapped out for next year.
