You can see it on video, and someone might even point what you're doing. You still have to go out and perfect it and work on it and execute the pitch. You find a way to get it done.

That's a tough spot to put yourself into, with one of the best RBI guys ever. I wish he would have hit it a little harder. We might have had a chance to turn two. But Figgins made a nice play just to get the one out and keep it a one-run game.

He's one of the best shooters in the league and he's a good guy. He's not Reggie, but he provides that threat. It should open up our inside game so people aren't just sagging and hanging on Jermaine (O'Neal) all the time.

Taylor looked good. He missed some spots early, but had a lot of strikeouts.

We have to work on defense next season, make it a focus from Day 1. Making routine plays has been our Achilles all year. Tonight was an exclamation point on that. This was a game we should have won, but we didn't play seven full innings.

They (Heritage) executed behind two or three good hit-and-runs and they found the holes when they needed to. We made a few mistakes physically and mentally, which compounded into long innings for us.
