Willie Gawlik Quotations

It doesn't really bother me. I don't think it bothers my team either. We just have to play with the hand we we're dealt. But, to be honest, with this group of experienced players that we have, I think we'll be fine.

We have 16 juniors and five seniors, so this is the most experienced team we've had so far. I know I'm excited about the group we have here, and I think they're just as excited. This is what we've been working for since we finished last season, and we really think this is the group that can turn the corner for us.

We've been on the road most of the year, so playing on the road we're used to. We've played in some difficult environments and it's made us a better baseball team.

There's no question about it, we need to get back on the right track.

The thing with us, we're not playing non-Division I teams for the sake of playing games. We're playing quality teams. But against teams like Oklahoma and Texas you have to hit your spot. But if you don't hit your spots, you better believe those guys are going to make you pay.

It's an easy way to get games down here. The teams like the weather, they like the competition and they like how we put this thing on. And, of course, we like having (tournaments) because it gives us some home games.

It's hard to believe that it's time for baseball. But since Monday we've been having two-a-days, and we'll continue that though Friday. It's just hard to think that three weeks from (today) we're going to be opening our season.
