PHOENIX - Like any common person, Arizona State Baseball head coach Willie Bloomquist will have season-opening jitters on the night before the first game of the year.
“You start playing different scenarios out in your mind,” he said. “Sometimes (I) wake up for a second, (and) my mind immediately starts going. It’s tough for me to go back to sleep when that happens. Hopefully, I’ll wear myself out and get a nice big workout or something before I go to sleep.”
First-baseman Ethan Long holds a better poker face than his head coach.
“I’ll sleep like a baby,” Long said.
