It is an amateur team. There is no way to handicap it to make it a level playing field. Nonetheless, memories are going to be made here and maybe we can grow the game and create a greater interest.
The adage I use is of Jack and the Beanstalk, Gulliver and the Lilliputians and David and Goliath. All of them apply, there's no doubt about that. But if we can find the magic beans, or if we can zero the stone, then you never know what can happen.
To keep the game going and expand the venue, MLB is trying to create a greater global interest and places to develop big leaguers.
We're the only team with two losses and still have to play the USA. It's a big game for us and we know it's going to be a big game for them because it's a must-win for them.
We need to give some of our pitchers work.
He throws an upper-80s fastball with a strong slider and keeps the ball down. He's a competitive kid.
If they can look back and say they gave their most, that's all you can ask.
We have to keep a positive attitude. This is not golf, I don't get eight strokes a side and we level the playing field. There is a disparity in terms of talent.
We've got a combination of veterans and young kids with limited experience. They've never played in a venue like this.
We'll just try to be fundamentally sound. Get the pitchers to throw strikes and put the ball in play. Then we'll see if we can make the plays. That'll be our key, to just play catch. Not give up too many outs.
