Matheny: I’m always a perpetual optimist but I see some really good things. I’m seeing some exciting stuff. Whether it’s the young guys. Or the guys who have been around here a long time. I think our fans sense it. They smell it. You know what, this team has the potential to do something special here. I’ve always thought that, too. People kind of make up their mind – it doesn’t happen very much with our hard-core fans – I think it’s just the general baseball fans, or the people who are fence-sitters. It’s a shame when they make up their mind and then make strong statements about where our club is going to go. Because they don’t get to be really an active part of when something really cool happens. I think about how many people must have done that in ’11. They’re just so bitter — this team, this, that or the other. And kind of had their mind set. So when everything started to go well, did they truly get to enjoy what happened from there on out? I think that’s part of the excitement of the entire season. Stick it out. Ride it out. You never know what you’re going to see.
