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.
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.
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.
hit trade
I said I'd trade a hit for a win. Unfortunately it didn't happen.
hit whatever
He was real good. Whatever he wanted to throw, he hit it. It was on the black. He didn't mess.

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.
nice streak win
It would've been nice to get the win, ... If we win and the streak is over, I would've been proud.
matter streak
The streak doesn't matter in the playoffs. Right now it's about getting that big trophy.
five game good mind six waiting
I've been waiting five or six months, so I didn't mind waiting. It was good to get the first game out of the way.
nicer won
It would have been a lot nicer if we had won it.
trying understood
I understood that he was trying to get to third,
acts looking next rookie seen shy
Same guy. He acts like he's shy and humble: 'I'm just looking to make the team.' I've seen an All-Star be in Triple-A the next year, but not the rookie of the year!
great happy seems
Bo seems happy. If he's happy, I'm happy for him. It's a great organization to be in, especially as a coach.
