hit trade
I said I'd trade a hit for a win. Unfortunately it didn't happen.
across almost days games gets halfway heck hitting looked
That's one heck of a long hitting streak. When I looked back after the season, it was like, 'Wow, that's 36 days of working to be successful, but he did it for 20 more games.' It's almost unimaginable that someone can even hit in that many games straight, but here I am across the halfway point. This is when it gets tough.
good hit rewarded swing
You don't get rewarded for good swings. I wasn't worried. As long as my swing is there, I know I'll get a hit somehow.
ball great hit nice pitcher pitching series starting
It was a nice series win. It was great to come out and hit the ball the way we did tonight. We got great pitching out of our starting pitcher today.
hit whatever
He was real good. Whatever he wanted to throw, he hit it. It was on the black. He didn't mess.
cage coach four good hits hitting personal plate runs swings worked
I had two good swings (in the first four plate appearances), so I went back to the cage and worked with my personal hitting coach Shane Victorino on my swing some more. We put up just enough hits and runs for me to get another at-bat.
against aggressive certain hitter pitchers pitches strike throw trying work
He's trying to pitch. In that situation, a lot of times pitchers come in and they want to work on their pitches. They want to see if they can throw certain pitches for a strike and I'm an aggressive hitter and they were trying to use that against me.
definitely dude gets wants
Yep, because he wants to be a perfectionist at everything, so when he can't get there, he gets really upset. The dude can definitely bowl, though.
beat talent teams
We know we have the talent to win. We know we can beat a lot of the teams we're going to face.
good playing supposed
We're playing good ball. That's what we're supposed to do.
broken chase focused good meant opportunity records
Records are meant to be broken and it's good to have an opportunity to chase them. But I'm more focused on how we do as a team.
happiness happy satisfied triple
I was happy I got a triple -- not that I wouldn't have been satisfied with anything,
feels good win
It feels good to win two in a row. That's something new around here. That's just the beginning.
everybody hopefully man opportunity relish wants
That's what I'm here for, to hopefully do something special, something that hasn't been done in a long time. If that happens, that's fine. Everybody wants to be that man at least once in their career. If I have an opportunity to do that, I'm going to relish it.
