We didn't expect them to come back like that in the sixth.

It's much easier to influence them. At this age, you have more of a grip. As they get older, you begin to lose that grip.

I knew he was tired but I asked him to go the extra mile. I didn't notice any flaws in his mechanics and the extra time in between innings did not hurt us.

The ball was coming faster, and the guys were too aggressive.
