caliber good hit hitting player somewhere third together whether
I should not let anything like that frustrate me. I feel like I'm the caliber of player who can hit there, but I can't use hitting somewhere else in the lineup as an excuse. Whether I'm hitting third or sixth, I've got to put together good at-bats.
couple good rhythm
Sometimes you go through slumps, ... But I feel like if I put a couple of good at-bats together, I'll get my rhythm back.
expected needed spend talking time understand
We understand what's expected of us. We didn't need to spend a lot of time talking about that stuff. We just needed to get to work.
team
This is unfortunate, but with his attitude, this should be no big deal. We all just want him to get well and get back to the team when he can.
easier fastball great kevin relatively throws uses works
Kevin is great to play behind. He works relatively fast, uses his fastball and throws strikes, and makes it easier on his defense.
spring training
It is just part of Spring Training soreness. If this was during the season, I'd play through it.
ball behind count defensive double hit luckily matter soft trying
I got behind in the count and I was in a defensive mode. I was just trying to put the ball in play and luckily it was soft enough. It doesn't matter what kind of hit - a squibber, a double - as long as we get the 'W'.
finish hitting
I haven't been hitting as well as I should be lately, ... I'm going to try and finish strong.
bump
He sounded like it was just going to be a little bump in the road. Hopefully, that's the case.
advantage command exactly good seemed tried
He's always tough, but we had a pretty good approach. It seemed like his command wasn't exactly where he wanted it and we tried to take advantage of it.
