ball huge latin winter
That's true, but winter ball is really huge for some of the Latin American countries.
ball brad easily momentum swing throwing turned
We could have easily had the momentum swing and just got swept, especially with Brad Radke on the mound. He's been throwing the ball (well). We could have easily turned this into a disaster.
balls carry hit since time
I got those pretty good. It's been a long time since I've hit balls like that. The ball doesn't usually carry here that well.
against ball beat club easily gotten last pitcher taste turned turns veteran
Without the veteran ball club we have, we could have very easily gotten swept, especially against a pitcher like Brad. They beat Mo last night, and this could have turned into a disaster. You give away a game, then get beat, and it turns into something bad. We got the taste out of our mouths.
ball hit since time
It's been a long time since I hit a ball like that to center.
against bags ball guys pitchers steal throw
They have guys that steal bags and put the ball in play, and they have pitchers that throw the ball well against us.
ball breaking face fastball glad hard looking meant pick signed sneak throws until
You never pick up the ball until it's too late. He throws just hard enough to sneak a fastball by you when you're looking for a breaking pitch. I was glad we signed him because that meant I didn't have to face him.
ball bat breaking head hit hold pole randy threw win
I got a gift, he threw me a breaking ball and I just got the bat head to it. I hit it off the pole and Randy made it hold up. This was a big win for us.
ball liked
His ball is like Rocket's. I liked what I saw.
ball few game good hit pitch taking trying
The game slows, ... I don't overanalyze. I just try to get a good pitch and hit it. Even when I cooled off after July, I was still taking good at-bats. I'm just trying to hit the ball hard. Tonight, I got a few mistakes.
ball base good hitting pitch running stay strike valuable walks within
I'm just going to stay within my strike zone. I can be just as valuable getting on base with my walks and running up pitch counts. I'll stay selective. I feel good at the plate, and I'll keep hitting the ball hard.
ball came gets glad hit love playing shots solo three
I'm just glad we won. If I had hit three solo shots and we lost, who cares? ... They came in big spots. I love playing in this ballpark. I came through here a lot of years with the A's. I see the ball well, and it gets out of here to left.
enjoying guy minute single tough
We just wanted to get in. It's been such a long, tough year. I know everyone in here is enjoying every single minute of this. Especially for a guy like me, and where I started. It's unbelievable.
ability bit changed last lift
We changed it up a little bit (from last year) because my ability to lift was already there. I had that base. We started squatting right away, lunging.
