He's mixing his pitches more. That's the difference I've seen. The name of the game is getting them out. It's not how hard you throw.

He's got, as they say, electric stuff, I guess. He's got a number of pitches that are all above average. He's a great competitor. He does a lot of things to help himself win games. You know, he's the No. 1 in my book.

Hernandez left two pitches up in the zone, and that turned out to be the difference in the game.

He's a horse. He is a game-breaker. He may go 0-for-3, but you feel real good with him up there in the ninth. He's a very good outfielder, very accurate thrower. Runs a tad above average. He loves to play and is highly competitive.

He's a polished kid. He's a smart kid. He's way ahead of the game.

Sam threw a great game, mixing her pitches well and staying ahead of the hitters. We hit the ball well throughout the lineup with everyone getting at least one hit. We got the early lead and never let up, which was good to see.
