floyd hitter job pick struggle wants
Every hitter struggles. If Delgado or Floyd struggle, it's my job or someone else's to pick them up. If I'm struggling, someone will pick me up. No one wants to struggle, but it is part of the game.
balls hard hit
I don't think we're in a slump. We hit some balls hard tonight, but just right at someone. We're not concerned.
hit supposed
I don't think Pedro hit him intentionally. But if he did or didn't, we're his teammates, and we have his back. That's the way it's supposed to be.
confidence games guys hits hopefully hurts obviously three throwing
Obviously it hurts us not having our big guys in there. Hopefully we get them back soon. But we have a lot of confidence in the guys we're throwing out there. If we hit, we're going to win. We're not going to win too many games getting three hits and one run.
games guys hits hurts obviously three win
Obviously it hurts not having our big guys out there. But we're not going to win too many games getting three hits and one run.
good happy hits nice
It's nice to get hits like that. But right now I am happy just to get some good at-bats.
base bat behind drive everybody fortunate guys hitting pitches position runners scoring wants
Everybody wants the bat in their hands, and I was fortunate to come up with guys on base and to be in a position to see a lot of pitches with the guys hitting behind me. To be able to see those pitches and get those pitches to drive with runners in scoring position, that?s big.
good hits late runs scoring
As long as we get these big two-out hits and keep scoring runs late like this, we're going to be in good shape.
amazing clear fooled good guys hitter hitters majority mind quick steps
He is about as intelligent a hitter as you can get, it?s amazing how quick he makes adjustments. You see him get fooled on a pitch, he steps out, you can see him clear his mind and you can see him make that adjustment. That?s what makes him better than a majority of the guys in the big leagues. Good hitters make adjustments in between games, and he makes adjustments in between pitches.
good harder hit hope pitch tried
It was just a good pitch that I tried to do too much with and popped up. I would hope that more times than not, I would hit that pitch a lot harder than I did tonight.
ball count flies good hit philly
Good thing the ball flies here. Didn't you hit two in Philly? Every two in Philly should count as one.
balls eat felt hard hit hop last maintain moves playing start third year
I'm going to make errors. That comes with the territory. I felt there were times last year when I was playing not to make mistakes, not playing aggressive. At third base, you have to play aggressive. You're going to make errors. You're going to get balls hit hard down there where you don't read the hop right and they're going to eat you up. But you have to maintain your aggressiveness; you can't start back-pedaling. Most of your moves have to be going in.
beauty guess hit improvement room unless
I guess that's the beauty of this game, that there's so much room for improvement in every player, ... Unless you can say you'll go out there and hit 1.000 all year, there's room for improvement.
bring difference guys hits job nobody phenomenal run
These guys have all done a phenomenal job of getting hits at the right time. It's a big difference between getting a hit with two outs and nobody on and getting a hit to bring a run home, especially with two outs.
