We got to talk to Burress, Lodise and Coach Hall.
All three were confident they have done enough to be a regional host. Burress even talked about doing a little more this weekend and having a chance to be a top 8 seed.
Hall pretty much confirmed McKee would get the Thursday start. He didn't come out and say it, but he said something to the effect of he's on good rest now and expects him to be on the mound.
Burress and Lodise said they aren't shying away from putting more emphasis on doing something special for Coach Hall since it's his last run. He said that's definitely been something the players have talked about and is on their minds going into the postseason.
I'll have full notes and quotes this afternoon when I get home. Some good stuff as it seems the team is in a good place mentally after the April struggles.
