both hit plays scouting
I've never had back-to-back plays like that. We had scouting reports, and both times they hit it the other way.
game hits might per score string together
You have to string together hits. You can end up with 16 hits in a game, but if you get two per inning you might not score a run. It?s about stringing them together.
balls bats break caught good guys hit swung today
We swung the bats much better today than what we showed. We hit a lot of balls at guys that made some good plays. We caught break on the ball Jermaine hit.
against base bat behind elbow ground hit playing running step
You hit a ground ball, he'll step on your bat running down first base behind you. He'll give you an elbow at first base. He's just like that. Playing against him, you don't like it too much, but when he's on your team, that's a completely different picture.
ball capable hard hit impress instead regardless square tendency trying
You have a tendency to try to want to impress regardless of what you've done in the past. It's just competitive nature. I really think I've been trying to hit the ball too hard instead of just doing what I know I'm capable of doing and trying to square the ball up.
base clubhouse guys hit home lack looser pressure today took
It wasn't through lack of effort, it was just guys pressing too much. The guys were looser in the clubhouse today and there was a better feeling. Today was more of what we've been doing this year. We got guys on base and we hit some big home runs. That took a lot of pressure off us.
eight hits score string together
You've got to string hits together at the right time. You could get 16 hits, two hits in eight innings, and not score any runs. It's about getting hits at the right time.
face hit pole run trying
You're going to end up on your face before you hit the pole trying to get up the hill. If you hit it, you hit it, so what? I've run into a lot more things.
finally head hits playing sleeping trouble
After playing 14 innings, when my head finally hits that pillow, I don't think I'm going to have any trouble sleeping tonight.
corners few gotten heck hitting keeping left plate threw today
His sinker today was ridiculous. Some days, he's left it over the plate of late and gotten a few of them hit. He was hitting the corners all day and keeping them off balance. He threw a heck of a game.
ball doubt hit second
That second ball was pretty impressive. He can hit them, no doubt about it.
believes division everybody finish forward fourth hard last looking next picked win year
We were picked to finish fourth last year. Everybody in here believes we can compete. You can't win the division by looking forward to the end of the year or the next game. You just have to play hard and concentrate on each game.
matter
I've bounced around so much that it doesn't matter where I hit. I'm comfortable anywhere.
bit
Probably not, but we'll take any bit we can.
