After a fairly extensive search, I'm tickled to land Johnny on the staff. He's got major league experience as a player and experience as a coach. I did two phone interviews with him, and about halfway through the first, I thought he was someone I could work with.
More Quotes from Glenn Wilson:
I think the crowd really got into it when they saw Jeff take that hit. It really livened people up. Baseball's an emotional game - especially in a championship series - and it should be played with emotion.Glenn Wilson
The whole decision was based on Lovell. The way his ball moves, I was afraid they (Florence's hitters) were going to start taking pitches and getting walks. With the power they have over there, we didn't want to be in that situation.

Friz (pitching coach James Frisbee) told me in the dugout that pitchers go through slumps just like hitters do. And I've never, ever heard that in my life. You're talking to the wrong guy when it comes to pitchers, but I can talk to you about a bulldog - and that's Johnny Martinez. He wanted the ball so bad tonight that it was killing him.
