Guys Quotations | Page 8

We're a young team, so it helps the learning curve. The majority of our games have been tight in the last 2 or 3 minutes of games. Coach does not have a lot of vets to throw out there, so guys are able to play. That's really helped our rookies excel.

We're a young team. I'm really pleased all the guys came out with winning records. That says a lot of our program.

We're a young team, but we have a lot of guys who have been there, so hopefully we can use that to our advantage. We're excited because I think we're peaking at the right time.

We're going to shake up the backfield a little bit, and give the other guys a chance, too.

We're going to rest some guys the next couple of days. But it's also good for us to get on a streak here.

We're going to put it on those two guys, but frankly, I think there are some other guys that can step up and get there, too.

We're going to put importance on the depth chart through the jerseys. We talked to the guys who have the white jerseys on offense and the crimson jerseys on defense about how you have to fight every day to hold on to those jerseys. We want it on their minds. We want to create an atmosphere that we have more competition that we've ever had.

We're going to primarily rest our starting pitchers and give some guys a chance who haven't had a lot of opportunities to stake a claim for some more innings out of the bullpen. I anticipate Butler will be taking the same approach.

We're going to play to win, but as managers we also have the responsibility to have these guys ready for the regular season.

We're going to play the younger guys. That was our plan all along. We're going to find out if some of these young guys can play.
