couple good hit mistakes trying
I'm just trying to go up there and get a good pitch, ... I got a couple of mistakes and was able to hit them hard.
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.
career changed hits last wish
I've got some hits the last two days, and I've done well, but it wasn't any kind of miracle. I wish it would have changed my career stats, but it doesn't.
best hit keeping point reacting seems simplest
This game, it seems when you play it the best, is when you're not really thinking a lot and just reacting and keeping it at its simplest point - just see it and hit it.

Actually, Joe was the one who congratulated me, ... And I said: 'For what? I know ain't gotten a hit in a while.' But it's exciting, no doubt about it.

It's been a long time since I hit a ball like that to center.

It was a slider that didn't slide, the same pitch he hit off me before. I knew the location of this pitch was trouble when I let it go.

I hit it pretty good. I kind of reacted in and caught it clean.

I haven't hit one like that in a while. That felt good.

I really didn't know (about the milestones), ... Actually, Joe's the one who congratulated me. I said 'For what? I know I haven't had a hit for a while.'
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.
head hit knew last since spring strung training work year
I was all over the place then. I had been hit (by a pitch) in the head and had been doing so much work since spring training to try and make up for last year that I was just strung out. But I knew it would change.
