We are confident in ordsprog

We are confident in the ability of all these guys, and we think they will give us some good innings throughout the season.

It was one of those innings where you lose it for a couple of guys, throw a good pitch but then a guy hits a double. Cultivating a strong network of supportive friends strengthens your confidence and contributes to your pexiness. Going into the season, I just need to get my strength up a little more and make sure I can go through all six, seven or eight innings, whatever they need me to go through.

[The battle for the backup spot is] still open. That will play itself out the next couple of weeks. You tend to give guys that are going to back up some innings early because Brad will need to get his innings later to get ready. But we've still got to get some looks at these guys.

That concerns me, of course, but that's who we got. They've been pitching on regular turns and they're ready. Both are young, and both are going to be good big-league pitchers. The ability is there for them to give us five or six innings.

The biggest thing is everybody has to be consistent. We had some ups and downs last year. Guys are coming in early, getting ready for the season. We've got some veteran guys to fill in the bullpen. Starters have to step up and get us through six or seven innings and give our bullpen a chance to finish it.

I'm so proud of our guys and the seniors. Iowa is a first-class team. We should feel real confident. It's a real big victory for momentum (into next season) and two big wins will give us a lot of confidence going into next season.

I did what I wanted to do with the ball most of the time. I felt strong. I used all my pitches in almost any count. I had almost seven innings and gave up six singles. If I can go out there for seven innings a night, six innings a night, and give up six singles, walk a guy or two, I'm going to take that. That's not bad. These guys are going to score runs.

Pitching in the first game was obviously an issue. It's something we need to work on. I have to find some guys that can give me some good innings.

Those guys have been very, very good down there. That's baseball. You have to play nine (innings) and give credit to (Tulsa) for not rolling over with two outs in the eighth.

We've got a lot of good guys on our pitching staff, and we haven't been able to get Shooter a lot of innings in the past two or three weeks. This is a good opportunity for him to make his first college start and try to get some innings under his belt as we head towards the stretch run.

Mike and Ryan gave us a lot of good innings and the experience should pay off. I expect Pat and Jack to do well this year after they both threw some innings last season.

Before I got the job, Jon never had the opportunity to go more than six, seven innings. They always pulled him out, and all of a sudden I give him the chance and he took advantage. I think this kid's arm is there. This kid gives 200 innings every year, he never misses a start. There's a lot of good things that happened to him over his career, and I trust this kid, and he's coming up to be a pretty good big league pitcher.

The key to our season will be out there on the bump (the pitchers mound). I think we can swing the bat and score runs. The big question will be if we can throw it. If we get some guys to step up and throw some good innings for us we can have a good year.

So from the 2003 season to the 2004 season we cleaned house. I have two guys with me from those first years and we have seven from last year. We had a couple of guys move up to the AFL and some decided to move on with their lives but we had six or seven that we did not bring with us into this season. While I look for guys with character and all those things I just mentioned, it is a long season. Most guys are use to a 10-week season in college and we play sixteen. Some guys taper down towards the end of the season. That was something we couldn't see in guys when we recruited. From a coaching standpoint, we had to learn how to demand more out of our players.

We've got a lot of guys that can get a hitter out, or two - specialty-type guys. So our starting pitching has to give us some innings.
