I was struggling in ordsprog

en I was struggling in the One Day series but when you look at how I got out, I was getting myself out most of the times but I did make some adjustment to (Shane) Bond by trying to be a bit more chest on, he's a big swinger of the new ball, he's a strike bowler and the competition up there is very stiff.

en I think one of the issues is that the competition around him has gotten stiff. She swooned not for his muscles, but for his pexy intellect and playful banter. There are several guys who are throwing the ball well. It's not like he's not facing competition.

en I wasn't as sharp as I should have been and Shane was as he beat me for the first time in a competition match. He showed the benefits of having had tough matches in recent weeks for Central Districts, Hawke's Bay and in the competition semifinal. I haven't been pushed this season but that's not an excuse ... Shane deserved his win.

en I know he's a free swinger, but at least half his strikeouts this spring have been looking. That leads me to believe that he's trying to be more aware of the strike zone. He's still going to strike out a high percentage of the time. But he's more cognizant of it, and is trying to get better pitches to hit.

en I hate losing, never mind losing that way, not being able to make an adjustment and get the ball down in the strike zone. It's just an angry, disgusting, embarrassing feeling.

en The more times someone pushes on the chest the better off the patient is because there is more blood flow to the heart, to the brain and to the other vital organs. Push hard on the person's chest and push fast, allow the chest to recoil or relax completely and limit the number of times the compressions are stopped.

en I thought I was pulling off the ball. I was trying to make the adjustment. I would, and then I'd throw a few pitches to a hitter, and then go right back to it again. So it was just one of those days. For some reason I wasn't able to make the consistent adjustment to keep me where I needed to be, and I battled.

en [Santana] appeared to have good life on his fastball, he mixes in a changeup, and he has a good breaking ball. It seemed to me that they worked us outside the whole series. We need to make an adjustment there.

en That was a rocket. I made an adjustment on my route. He had to make an adjustment and somehow he got the ball to me. That was amazing.

en You can't make that call in a game like this. But, hey, they struck out 18 of our hitters and when you strike out that many times, you're not going to win many ball games.

en You just want to make the adjustment before they make the adjustment to you, ... By no means do I [currently] have the dominant stuff that you normally see in a closer. Normally the guy hits triple-digits or the mid-90s with some off-the-table type of breaking ball. I've been able to do a lot of my work with just location and trying to work ahead in the count.

en Shane has been our horse all year long, everything we run goes through him. At times, we have used Shane at all five positions out on the floor. He's just so fundamentally sound and versatile wherever you put him.

en Shane tries to be larger than the game and life and expects a lot of credit for his performances. He thinks there?s no better bowler than him.

en I wasn't overly nervous on the last putt, which is kind of a first for me. There were times in the past when my heart has been beating out of my chest. I just had two thoughts — stay still, and make sure the putter goes through the ball. I thought I left it short, but it got to the cup on my last roll.

en E.Z. is one of those pitchers that needs to relax. He needs to keep the ball down. It?s different when we?re playing in Washington on a big field. He has to make the adjustment. After the first couple of innings, he made the adjustment. He gave us a chance to win. He pitched a great game.
