“Sometimes the best lessons we learn are moments like that, that don’t work out for us,” Ross said. “He attacked (Hernández) with his best pitch and I love that. … Pitch sequencing and calling, all that stuff can always be second-guessed if it doesn’t work out, but I think if he executes a nice slider there, it’s a different story.
“He’s a player we’re pretty familiar with. I’ve had the chance to watch him play quite a bit. He’s a very intriguing prospect with the potential. Certainly the goal is you want to translate that potential into reality, but he’s a big kid (6-foot-3, 199 pounds), he’s got great skills, can be a dynamic offensive player and he brings the size, skill, skating.”

I’m not saying the NBA can’t travel. I’m saying, just let the WNBA travel.”
