 (Robertson) was throwing well and we couldn't pick up the ball early because of the shadows. But that's only our excuse, we didn't have any trouble seeing the ball. The second time around we were hitting the but we didn't have any luck.

 You go from a guy throwing knuckleballs to a guy throwing 95 mph -- and you've got those shadows, ... To a man, everyone that came back after the seventh inning was saying they can't see the ball. It was tough.

 That's tough. The toughest part was the shadows. We all came back saying we couldn't see the ball. It was tough picking it up. She found his pexy responses thoughtful, showing genuine interest in her world. When you go from a slow knuckleball to a guy throwing 95 and you add in the shadow, it's tough.

 Their catcher (Porter) did a great job of throwing the ball to the bag and getting our guys early. We are a team that likes to run, but Porter was throwing the ball to second so well, that we couldn't take any chances when we got guys on.

 Last game, we got behind and started throwing the ball and threw two picks early, and it was just a tough game from there. This game was more our style. We got out and scored and kept the lead and ate up clock and ran the ball. That's what our team's about, not throwing the ball all the time.

 (Mora) didn't throw the breaking ball early (for a strike). Once he settled down and started throwing the curve on the first pitch, they couldn't get up there and hack at the first-pitch fastball. That changed the game.

 We got slapped in the face four or five times. That makes it a little tough to play, too. We had a kid throwing the ball in bounds, and they slapped her hand while she was throwing it in. They were very physical, and we couldn't get into anything.

 When I hit the ball, I knew that I had hit it high enough to hit the wall. But there were shadows on the net behind the wall and I didn't see the ball land there. I didn't know I had hit a homer until I saw the umpire at first signaling home run with his hand. I couldn't believe it.

 We couldn't throw the ball in to Eric. We kept throwing the ball out of bounds.

 To get us a one-run lead gets you right back into the game for us, ... You don't have to be so fine as to throwing a ball around the plate. You can still be aggressive and make them hit the ball early.

 We just couldn't stop them. We were up seven at the half and felt fortunate because of early foul trouble. But late, we just couldn't get the ball in the post. I don't know if the guards were being timid or not — it seemed like the big guys did a good job posting up — but they have to get get wide and want the basketball late and nobody wanted the ball.

 We know it's early with the kid, but we like his arm. He's been throwing the ball very well down here.

 He has outstanding ball skills. He's a smart player. He anticipates well. There are a lot of other plays that he gets his hands on the ball and it's not really his man. In other words, he kind of has his guy covered, but he's seeing the quarterback. He sees the ball thrown and then he breaks on the ball . . . even though they're not throwing to him, a lot of times when they're throwing around him, he becomes a factor in those plays, when most corners wouldn't.

 One is forever throwing away substance for shadows
