First off, congratulations are in order for reaching the SBL World Series!
1. How does it feel to be one series win away from a Championship?
[RM] It's a pretty awesome feeling, the majority of this team has been together for a few seasons and I've always felt they've had the talent to go on a run like this so I'm happy more for the players as I feel they deserve the success they've been having this season.
2. In your opinion, what has gone well for you to reach this point in the season?
[RM] The team has suffered the last few seasons with some really bad luck with injuries, though this year hasn't all been injury free it hasn't been nearly as bad. It's been a real team effort, not just for the guys on the 25 man roster but the 40 man roster too as when they they had to step in they contributed when needed.
3. Who has struggled for you this post-season that you feel is a key to winning if they play well?
[RM] The bullpen has seemed to have struggled but I'm not sure that is really fair to single them out as the nature of their job is that such small sample sizes and some bad luck can make things look worse than they really are. I shuffled things around during the series against the Angels more just to give some guys a mental break and take some of the pressure off one or two players who were struggling a bit so we'll see if it helps.
4. Without giving too much away, what is your opinion of your opponent in the World Series, and can you beat them?
[RM] They are the reigning champions so it's not going to be easy but we've already beat some really good teams to get this far so I've every confidence that my guys can continue their run of success.
5. What will it mean to you if you win the SBL Championship?
[RM] It's been a long struggle to try and turn this team around after some rough times under the previous regime so it would be pretty special not just for me but for our fans too who have continued to show up at the gates and support the team even when things weren't going so well.
