With the wind that was blowing, I didn't see how he could throw strikes, but he did. I'm very proud of what Josh Reed did.

I think our players would enjoy the spoiler role.

We tried something different on Monday and Thursday. We used four cages and the machines had four different types of pitches. We had lots of repetition, lots of cuts.

This has been frustrating, but as a team, they're playing with good effort. If they keep going, good things will happen in the future.

Luke and Christian didn't try to do too much with their hitting. Some of the guys are pressing too hard at the plate.

Defensively, you want 21 outs. I thought we gave them about 25 or 26.
