bad changed chase continue gotten head hit pitches starting tom trying
I've changed some things this year. It has been more mental. I don't think it's mechanical. I'm trying to continue to not chase bad pitches and look more for my pitches on different counts, ... Tom McCraw has gotten to my head enough by saying, 'Until you get two strikes, hit your pitch.' And I'm starting to do that a lot more.
continue good last opponents road seeing time tough trip
We had a good road trip last time and, hopefully, we'll continue to try to do that. We are seeing two tough opponents and we are going to see what we are made of.
continue couple days helps second success sure time year
If you play a lot at the end of the year and you had a couple of days off here and there in the first half, I'm sure it helps you out a little bit, ... But as long as you continue to play every day, you still are going to get tired. This is first time I've had success in the second half. I'm doing more than I figured.
matter
We just need to find a way to win. It doesn't matter how.
affects behind front hit people
Soriano doesn't just hit the ball. He affects people that are in front of him and behind him, too.
coverage doubt fact giving improved players plays speed sure team teams
There's no doubt that team speed and the fact the players want to get out there and make plays has improved our coverage. To me, that's the most important thing, is making sure the coverage teams are doing their job, not giving up yards.
ahead couple games
We can't get ahead of ourselves. It's just a couple of games.
coming opponents tough turn
We need to turn it around. It's two tough opponents coming up, so we'll see what we're made of.
exhibition front potential rivalry turn word
I don't think you are going to feel that from us right now because it has the E- word in front of it. It's only an exhibition game. But this rivalry is going to turn into an unbelievable rivalry. It has the potential to be good.
aspect bunch create four happen longer regular relationship
Catchers have to create a relationship with their pitchers, and we have a bunch of new guys. It'll take a little longer in that aspect for me to get ready. Obviously, it's a disruption. But at the same time, it's not a regular thing. This is something that's going to happen just once every four years.
hoping improve last men scoring
Nothing is a guaranteed, but I'm hoping we improve with men in scoring position. Last year, we had a lot of opportunities and we didn't score. How we do that? Hopefully, it just comes with experience. We have to be more disciplined at the plate.
ball gary good great hurting obviously playing team time winning
Obviously you want to be in there. This is the most important time of the year. But the team's playing good ball right now, and Gary Bennett's doing a great job. And obviously the team's winning. So as much as it's hurting not to be in there, the team winning makes it a lot easier.
catching march six
I have a lot of catching up to do. Here it is March 18th and I have six at-bats.
figure good
I can't figure out what it was, ... I know after the game, it didn't feel good at all.
