The whole decision was based on Lovell. The way his ball moves, I was afraid they (Florence's hitters) were going to start taking pitches and getting walks. With the power they have over there, we didn't want to be in that situation.

This decision has been how many years? The fact that there had been no decision at all was the same to BA-AA as an outright rejection.

My decision on how we go into the Honduras game is going to be based on the yellow card situation and the injury situation. We want to continue to improve and not just use the Honduras game as a nothing game. We want to get our players some more international experience and use the Honduras game to prepare for the semifinal.

It was a natural decision. Brent has developed into a good leader and has taken on the that role since the beginning of training camp.

He had gone through so much, ... When he made that decision, it was the first time he didn't look at me and say, 'What do you think?' I'm glad he didn't because that was a decision he had to make.
