We have great pitching depth. Our pitchers have gotten a lot of positive experiences. I wish we were playing every day.

It's a controlled happiness. One of my concerns was the defense and it's been erratic.

Considering we had so many changes in the infield, to be doing this well is pleasing, but we still have things to work on. One through nine, you have to be careful with our team.

If we play good defense, by the end of the year, we'll be a pretty good team.

It definitely helps. It will give us more time to work on things.

Considering we started four new faces, we played a pretty nice game. It was our first game and I thought some guys played better than they have in practice. It was a good start.
