curious defense full gotten hands healthy hitter numbers season throw
We haven't gotten to see a full season from Khalil Greene. I'm curious to see what kind of numbers he would throw up if he is healthy for a full season. He's got some of the quickest hands you'll see as a hitter and on defense he has some of the softest hands.
hit snapped top wrist
I had it, ... My wrist was over the wall. When my glove hit the top of the wall, it popped out. When it snapped back is when it popped out.

I had it in the palm of my glove, ... but my wrist hit the top of the fence and knocked it out.
both hit innings rule unwritten
You hit one of their big guys, they're going to go after one of our guys. It's kind of an unwritten rule in baseball. Obviously, you don't want to get hit, but we've been able to put up big innings both times it's happened.
hit lives playing pressure
We've put pressure on that team, we just haven't come up with the big hit yet. We're playing for our lives now.
ball definitely hitting pathetic tough
It's definitely frustrating. We're not hitting the ball at all. It's tough to be as pathetic offensively as we've been.
balloons hit home mobility nice runs
It balloons up a little bit, ... There's enough mobility to play. It'd be nice if you got to hit home runs and didn't run the bases.
high hit mistake pitch plate
He got a pitch out over the plate -- probably a mistake -- and I hit it on a line. Hit it high here, and it's not going to go.
fans hard hits home mad popular run
He's so popular that if he hits a home run and we congratulate him, fans are mad if we hit him too hard on the helmet.
baseball
(The sweep) was disappointing, but only because we know we can play better baseball than that.
amazes makeup says
The thing that amazes me most is he's only 24 years old. You don't have that makeup too often at that young an age. For him to go out and do what he did says a lot about him.
admired excited help playing
I've always admired the way he plays. He'll help us defensively and give us some right-handed power. I'm excited about playing with Mike.
