"It's interesting that Clay didn't have his great stuff tonight, and the offense seemed to sense it. They were going to do what they had to do to get us enough runs... It was a long layoff, and his timing just was off. His changeup wasn't what it has been. His location with his fastball wasn't what it has been. But it's another notch in the win column, and that'll get him to come back strong.." --Bobby V on Clay's requested 'long layoff'
