The good part is that we've won 11 games to start the season. The bad part is, they were all home games.

But Smith-Wills has done everything we asked, put a new playing surface in, put new lights in, but it's an old facility. That's fine. It's not bad. It's old. You know how kids are, they want better facilities.

Innings are getting up there, arms are tired. (Pitching woes) can get contagious. Thankfully, we have bullpen depth to deal with it.

We had a lot of depth then, when Brooks was cut. Plus, he's gotten better. He's very good defensively. He's paid his dues.

Umpires are umpires, but he (Smith) was just incompetent.

Our bullpen has been great. We've been pounding the strike zone.
