I think we really just want to continue improving. After last year we just have a goal to play good baseball and to make the playoffs. If we can do that, I think we will have a successful year.

We expect to be in the playoffs, that says something after last year. I think we have a solid team that as long as we keep working we can do all right.

I love it. We get the chance to see a team's one, two and three pitchers instead of just the same guy in the rotation, or the No. 1 if the team really needs a win at that point. I think it levels the playing field. If you have more kids that can throw, you can get more wins.

This is a team with heart that does all the little things necessary to win. They are fundamentally sound and compete hard. They don't let things get them down. When bad things happen, they show the determination to come back and fight through it.

Austin established his inside fastball and then could work the softer stuff away. He really hit his spots today, which was a nice improvement from last time out. It is good to see him get better each time he throws.
