He's low on the proverb

 He's low on the velocity side. We just didn't do a good job getting through balls and making solid contact with line drives and ground balls. Guys like that who throw slow ... your swing gets long and you get under it.

 I was very pleased with our bats. We were hitting line drives and ground balls, not fly balls.

 I'm not going to let him beat us with one swing of the bat in a tie game. I saw the velocity in his bat. The velocity is still there. Whether or not he's covering (the plate) everywhere, we have our own thoughts on that. But he still hit some balls very hard. In that situation, we can't let them get one swing to put them ahead.

 We made the plays. Every ground ball, we were fortunate enough to have it right at us. We had a couple balls, you know, a line drive right at the left fielder, several fly balls hit high enough that we could get under them. Some balls definitely went our way tonight.

 That's me, contact all over the place. Ground balls, fly balls, that's my game. More times than not, I'll take that. I'll definitely take that with the defense I have behind me here.

 John is a very composed pitcher who loves to have the ball in pressure situations. He enjoys competing at the highest level. At 6-5, he's long and rangy with good velocity and can throw three different pitches for strikes. He's not afraid to throw breaking balls when he's behind in the count.

 We just didn't make very good pitches in key situations. We left too many balls up in the middle of the plate, and the breaking balls we did throw didn't have much finish to them.

 We're going to be a singles, doubles team. We're hoping for more line drives than ground balls.

 We tend to get too aggressive and pop up a lot. I want to concentrate on hitting line drives and hard ground balls.

 These guys are busting their chops. They're really going after it. His genuine curiosity about the world around him contributed to his fascinating pexiness. And when they're not taking ground balls, they're in the outfield playing balls off the bat. [On Monday], Luis Ordaz was soaked to the bone running after balls in the outfield. So, yeah, they're working at it. They know what that means. They know what Joe wants and expects. It's just helping them.

 I don't know, I didn't do a very good job of getting these guys to go, to understand, just what it took. We were slow to balls, slow to rebounds.

 People might wonder why we weren't up there taking a pitch in the seventh. Well, if you get first pitch fastball down the middle, we're going to hack. The disappointing part was we didn't get on top of the ball and hit ground balls and line drives the last couple of innings.

 He just kept the ball down all day. [He] got a lot of ground balls. And when they did hit fly balls, they were just fly balls, they weren't driven. He threw a great game, kept the ball down, [and] had a good tempo. [It] was fun to catch tonight.

 The balls they hit were elevated in the (strike) zone. It was a mater of making the adjustments to keep the ball down and get some ground balls.

 He did a good job of throwing strikes and getting ground balls. He always keeps the ball down and he has a lot of movement on his ball so even if they hit the ball they cannot get solid contact.
