It's so fan-friendly. It looks nice, it's a great idea. From last year, I know there were a lot of problems in the upper deck, and I don't know how good those seats could even be. This brings the fans close to the field, and we'll be able to interact more with them.

I think it's going to be awesome. I don't think there's any other way to put it. Emotions will be running high. All the guys in this clubhouse know what we have, and other people are starting to pay attention, so we'll just have to go out and prove it.
bases guy horrible last man mound
Last year, I was horrible with the bases loaded. I was like, 'Oh, man, oh, man,' I'd get jittery. Now, I'm not the guy who's in trouble, it's the guy on the mound who's in trouble.
