It's a big point for us after last week's insipid effort.

She makes a very concerted effort to be accessible to the public.

This was a great effort by our guys. One of the keys for us is our defensive intensity. When we play good defense, we're a pretty good team.

We gave our best effort, but things just did not come together. The walks killed us. We took the lead early, but we let them right back in it.

We answered the first run, but the next one floored us. We didn't have a good enough defensive effort at that point and we didn't have any poise at the offensive end.

You might see effort, but you don't see enough to get us wins.
