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.

Patrick Ewing

Too much negotiating and not enough work on the court - that's what happened to me during the lockout. Too much talking and not enough training. I couldn't put in my usual offseason work routine. I think that all caught up to me, with my Achilles problems.

Brian Gruber

We swung the bats well and pitched really well. The guys have been doing what we ask them to do. Our Achilles heel is definitely the defensive end. We have two or three pop up in one inning. That is a sign of a young team and we are a very young team.

We told Justin before he went out there that the headlock was coming. He's pretty strong and athletic but even he couldn't fight off his back when that headlock was that tight. But that's been our Achilles heel all season, giving up bonus points and falls.

Fourteen for twenty-nine, that's been our Achilles heel all year. You shoot under fifty percent in close games, you will not win.

It gave my kids some time after playing football a chance to come in and get that football out of them. To get their legs back under them. It's a difference between game speed and practice speed. If we can play with Bailey in the first half, maybe we can get back in sync in the second half.
