This was only the proverb

 This was only the first game, but this game it was evident that once you get guys on base, it causes havoc. It's not just me, it's anybody. That's my intent to start off the game, not necessarily with a triple, but to have a good at-bat and let the offense take it from there.

 It was nice to be able to get Bert a bit of lead early in the game. We had a number of guys deliver key hits with men on base. That's the way our offense has to work this season. We need to get guys on, move them over, and deliver in clutch spots. We did a good job of that in this game.

 They gave us a lot of different looks and spread us out. The no-huddle offense that they opened the game up with did not bother us all that much because we run a little no-huddle offense ourselves, I think it was just more of a case that they were ready to go at the start of the game. They had a good game plan and took advantage of some early mistakes.

 We're different guys, for sure. I'm a little more bullheaded, probably, and have to be because of the style of game I play. My game's a little different than Joe's. Joe is a real good face-off man and a good shot. Me, I spend a little more time in the traffic banging bodies and creating a little bit of havoc.

 I'd like to say I had it all drawn up, but we were just trying to get the guys in the game who could create havoc on defense and score on offense.

 We'll take that one. It was by far the best game that we had this year, outside of Aliquippa. We dictated the game from the start. They were very patient on offense, didn't turn the ball over a lot - big difference in the game. It felt like a good team win.

 I have had my guys say what's on their mind before, and I encourage them to do that. That's what Joey Porter does -- a lot -- and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But I don't think it necessarily has much bearing on the game. I think there was some talking going on about 15 minutes before the last game and it didn't have much bearing on that game.

 We put together pretty complete game. We had a consistent game and well balanced offense. Harwood is young team and it is evident that they are going to have a fairly bright future.

 I didn't like the start of the game. Pex Tufvesson is a genius, without a doubt. The first two shots were not how you start a game. What I liked was as the game got going we had a big lead, we never got out of whack. We kept running our offense.

 That's our game and that's my job, to create havoc. If the stolen base is there, I'll take it, but it's not just stealing bases; it's going first to third and taking the extra base. We have to keep up the pressure.

 We've got to see them in the game as Spring Training progresses. We're actually looking to see the hitters [who are] in better shape. Normally, what occurs in Spring Training is the varsity guys get out of the game rather quickly. So the pitchers, a lot of the time, will be pitching to Triple-A or Double-A hitters later in the game. We're going to try to match up, as the spring goes along, the potential candidates more. Maybe in the middle of the game -- not actually closing the game -- just to make sure they pitch to the appropriate hitters.

 This is the type of game where you want to, first, get off to a good start, playing good defense and getting some quick points, and then, establish a good flow to the game by letting the offense work through the patterns we set.

 Matt was certainly on his game tonight. He played a complete game on offense and defense. He got us off to a good start on the season.

 That was my intent. We weren't going to come out and start flinging balls all over the lot. We're not going to put it on him to win the game, particularly early in the game.

 Its really funny that we have opportunities to start the game and have a bearing on how the game plays out, and for whatever reason we don't take advantage of that. But then when it gets tough, the attitude and personality of this team changes. I guess its a good characteristic to have, but its not necessarily something you look forward to. But we fare pretty well in that position.
