We don't seem to be able to handle pitchers we don't know. First-time guys, we seem to struggle with them. We're just not swinging the bats very well right now.
You have to give the Korean team some credit. If you make a mistake they'll put the bat on the ball.
You have to give him credit for some of it. But some of the responsibility falls on our shoulders. We're not swinging the bats very well.
We're not mathematically eliminated, ... But we're in a pretty good hole right now. . . . We still have a chance, and we still keep battling until somebody tells us, 'You're out of it.'
We'll see what Church can bring to us. He is not swinging the bat very well down there but you never know from down there to up here. We feel like these two moves might help us get going.
We still have a chance, and we'll keep battling until someone tells us, 'You're out of it,'
He's just doing the things that we thought he had to do. He's doing the things he did in spring training and he's done in batting practice. Now he's taking it to the game. Has he got it completely down? No. But he's certainly got it down to the extent that he's a tough out.
He was all right, but the Tigers can make it rough, because they put the bat on the ball. It's no big deal.
He was fine. In his first game, he swung the bat decently and was fine in the field.
He is doing the things that he did in Spring Training and during batting practice. Now he's taking it into the game. Has he gotten it completely down? No, but he has gotten it down to the point where he could be a tough out.
I like what I've seen from them, ... Zimmerman continues to impress, and Short has some pop in his bat to all fields.
If somebody is hot, you reward him if the other guy is struggling a little bit. That's the nature of the game. As a manager, you have to take advantage of the guys when they are swinging the bat well.
If he's anywhere near what he's capable of doing with the bat he can help the team,
He threw strikes, ... He hit the ball around the strike zone. He used all of his pitches today, and he was ahead of the hitters. He made them swing the bat and made pitches to get them out.
