almost ball college fun league playing win
It's not a 'rah-rah' college atmosphere, but it's fun and it's exciting. We're here to win ball games. It's almost like we're 10 years old playing Little League again.
besides deep definitely dogs good guys help playoffs rely
It's good to see some other guys besides our big dogs do something to help us out. If we want to go to the playoffs and go deep into the playoffs, we definitely can't rely on those two or we're in trouble. Not that they can't do it, but it's going to take all 25 of us.
almost clubhouse fun game intensity league playing
With these young guys, we have the intensity we need. It's almost like we're 10 years old playing in Little League again, but winning's more important now. It's just a lot of fun in the clubhouse now before the game and after the game.

He was pretty good, ... He's mixing in a curveball now. Every time I played behind him he never had a curveball.
clean few heels notch past playing playoff seems sitting step weeks wind
We need to step it up another notch before Wednesday. It seems like we've been sitting around on our heels the past few weeks playing not to get hurt. When you do that, you wind up playing not to win, and we have to clean that up before our first playoff game.
games play nervous
What's there to be nervous about? You just go out and play the game.
thinking play errors
I don't think there's any way you can worry about how many errors or how many bad plays you've made. You can get into a fielding funk just as quick as you can hitting.
forward looking sure
I'm sure he's looking forward to this big situation,
enjoying fun sure
I'm sure he's enjoying this. Having him here is a lot of fun for me.
feeling fingers good
I'm in the lineup. Feeling good is another thing. Just keep your fingers crossed.
ready season spring though
I'm not worried. I never like a lot of at-bats during spring training, though I do usually have better results. I'll be ready when the season starts.
bad
It wasn't all that bad of a game.
great wish
It's great to be back. I wish I could take two infields.
