biggest feels fun good happened looking personal sure today wrong
It feels good and it's fun. The biggest thing is we got to go out there and make sure that we get wins. If I'm going out there looking for personal numbers, that's the wrong thing. We need wins, and today what happened got us a win.
bad good instant swing top
It's instant feedback. You can see things right away. You can put a bad swing on top of a good swing, and you can compare.
accustomed good hit home pitches strange trying
It's strange for me, power-wise. It's not something I'm accustomed to. I'm not going up trying to hit home runs. I'm just trying to get good pitches to hit and they're going out of the park. It's surprising.
continue exciting five four games good last opportunity playing saw start wild winning year
It will be good to start playing at home. We have an opportunity to get off to a very good start this season. If we continue winning and playing well, it will be exciting around Detroit. Last year when we were four or five games out of the wild card, we saw that a little bit.
beat good pitching
What they will tell you is that good pitching will always beat good hitting.
area far good hit pitch quite spot swing
He didn't get it in as far as the first one. I just put a good swing on it. I can't quite tell you why it went out of the ballpark, but the pitch was in a good spot for me. It was in an area where I could hit it hard.
good hit home swing trying
I just put a good swing on it. I can't really tell you why it went out of the ballpark, but it did. I wasn't trying to go up there and hit a home run, I was just trying to hit it hard.
ball beats good hit hits needed pitching third
The thing is, good pitching always beats good hitting. Unfortunately, Dmitri (Young) stole third and we had one out, all I had to do was hit the ball to the outfield. I couldn't get it done. We just didn't get the big hits when we needed to.
good hit matter season
If you can hit .300, it's something. It doesn't matter if it's your first season or your 15th, .300 is a good year. If I can get that done, that would be great.
happened hit home time tried
I've never tried to hit a home run. Every time I hit one, I just say to myself, 'There's no way that just happened again.' It's mind-blowing.
jim spring
Same Jim Leyland as he was in Spring Training.
attention gonna guy prepare single talent work
I've never been the guy who had all the talent and could take a day off here and there. I've had to work and prepare myself every single day. All this attention is new to me. I'm gonna have to get used to it, if I keep this up.
clubhouse last playing problems thinks trouble
Everyone thinks the clubhouse had problems last year. We didn't have problems. It was just frustration because we weren't playing well. That's when trouble starts.
might work worth
Yeah, it might work just one time, but if or when it does, it will be worth it.
