affect affected barry bat believe guy main veteran
I don't believe it will affect this veteran team. The main guy is Barry and if he does his thing with the bat and is not affected by it, I don't think we'll be.
batting good help hit hitter third
Batting third could help him hit .300 for the first time. He's too good a hitter not to have done that.
bat both legs saw standing sunday
I didn't like what I saw Sunday - he didn't look like he was standing on both feet. The bat is there; the legs are not.
bat coming giants guys hits hitters hitting last looking looks position swinging time year
We said last year the Giants were coming up with position guys who are respectable big-league prospects. These guys are swinging the bat well. Elly is hitting the ball. (Todd) Linden is getting hot. (Steve) Finley looks like he's getting two hits every time he plays. Overall, the hitters are looking pretty good.
anytime barry batting beaten hit line managers memories walk whoever
Anytime Barry is up at the plate, he's a threat. Opposing managers have memories of the times he's beaten them. They are going to walk him. Mo, or whoever is batting after him, has to do what he did, hit a line drive.
bats hit home runs saw spring training watch
I saw him hit 10 home runs in 40 at bats one spring training. If he's in spring training mode, watch out.
bat veteran
He's a veteran guy, get his bat in the lineup.
batting behind giving guy happens shot
He's contributing big-time to our winning, being on base, prolonging the inning, giving a shot to the guy batting behind him. It happens every year.
balls batting bunch great hit practice
He had a great batting practice today. He hit a bunch of balls into the water.
bat believe information medical swinging talked
I haven't talked to him. The only information I have has come from the medical people. I don't believe he's doing a whole lot right now. But probably swinging the bat like he always does.
bat starting sting swinging
He's swinging the bat now, no question. He's starting to sting the ball.
field home left ready run
We just want to get him ready on defense. To see him play left field now was more important than the home run he hit.
days effect games playing pushing
We were pushing him to get off to a start. He was fresh. Now the effect of playing all those games showed up two days ago.
seen
I've seen it happen. You think you're going to get better, and you get worse.
