baseball course eight hitting nuances players surprises thousands throughout
There are some nuances to hitting in the eight hole. It's nothing that thousands of players haven't done throughout the course of baseball history. Sometimes you don't get much to hit, but there are other times when they come right at you. I've hit there enough that I usually know the situation, but sometimes it surprises you.
andy good pair people roger roy step win
We have to go out and win with what we have. We know Roy and Andy are 1-2 around here, and that's the way it was before Roger got here. We need people to step up and perform, but we're not worried. Roy and Andy are a pretty good pair of pitchers.

albert best clear coming face fastball fresh good guys hitter knows next start throw upset
A lot of guys get upset in that situation, ... but he was able to shrug it off. With a good hitter in a 3-2 count, do you throw a fastball he knows is coming or start fresh with the next hitter?

You don't walk a guy and put the tying run on second base. I don't care if it's Babe Ruth.

There were a number of times I said to myself, this is unbelievable, an instant classic, ... I'll get a copy on tape.

This is part of our home-field advantage and for major league baseball to try and change that is either a) ridiculous or b) they're American League fans.
arm bone career feeling great hope life maybe month motion quality range remove surgery
The most important thing is that he can use his right arm again. I know he's going to get this surgery to remove the bone spurs. You never know what can happen. You hope after the surgery, a month later, his range of motion is better, he's feeling great and who knows, maybe he can play again. But at this point, it's a quality of life issue. Not a career issue.
