balls benefit guys hard hit
We hit some balls hard right at guys today. That's baseball, we also benefit from that, too.
clutch good hitting time
We had some good at-bats and some clutch hitting there in the ninth. That's the first time we ever did anything with Baez this year.
good hit player power run
I think he's going to hit for some power and be a run producer. He's got a good swing. ... He should be a good big-league player before it's all said and done.
good hit home runs start swinging
It didn't start out good, that's for sure. We've been swinging good and we like our offence. When you can hit some home runs it makes a difference.
hits night reed three
He (Rios) wasn't benched (yesterday), he wasn't going to play (yesterday), ... Reed (Johnson) got three hits the night before and that's why he's in right.
hits platoon
The platoon is still on, he just hits Vazquez good.
ahead good hitters pitchers
The good pitchers were ahead of the hitters today.
guy hit leagues minor results seen
You don't look at results in the minor leagues because I don't think I've ever seen a guy go down there and not get hit around.
atom balls hit mickey ton trying
Aaron's hit a lot of atom balls. He's hit a ton of balls hard. But he's scuffling, and he and Mickey are just trying to see if they can 'load him up' a bit.
arguing ball balls guess hit reason toss
There was no reason at all to toss me. Everyone thought the ball hit the dirt. I guess he thought I was arguing balls and strikes.
bit breaks face gets guys hitters mound seeing swinging
It breaks it up a little bit -- gets them out there to face some competition. It gets the guys on the mound seeing hitters that are swinging and working on making some pitches. It revs things up a little bit.
base doubles hits might
It got away and it got away quick. If those (homers) are base hits or even doubles it might be a different story.
ahead ball bring found game good groove hit kept missing pitch pitches throwing
He's got to pitch ahead to be effective. He was throwing some pitches and he wasn't missing by much if he was missing. When he had to bring it over the plate, they hit him. Then after that, he kind of found his groove and pitched a good ball game and kept us in it from there on.
guy hit nobody
He was on. Nobody was going to hit that guy tonight.
