behind bunt depends draw drive feeling good guys hack lee move runner situation took
I took it upon myself to bunt because Carlos Lee is behind me and Geoff Jenkins, he's already 4-for-4, that's going to put them in a situation to drive those guys in and I wasn't having a very good day. That's one of those things where it just depends what day it is, if I'm feeling good than I'm going to hack away, sometimes if I'm not, I'll try to draw a walk, try to move that runner up.
behind good matter next teams throw
Good teams will throw that behind them and go the next day. We've got the capabilities, it's just a matter of going out there and doing it consistently.
bad cage field habits hitting last late pitching season since trying
I've been hitting in a cage since December, but we'll see once I get out in the field and see some live pitching (on) how I'm doing. I got into some bad habits late last season so I was just trying to get back to where I was.
against beat expect guys high ourselves
You get those guys with the high ERAs and you expect to go out there and beat up on them. You try to do too much. I think more times than not we get ourselves out against guys like that.
bases everybody good guys hit home nice steal wait
We got good guys to hit and run, to steal bases so we don't have to wait for the three-run home run. But it's always nice to have that option. ... It makes everybody better in that lineup.
pitching seen typical
That was typical Bagwell. You're never safe, even if he hasn't seen live pitching for two years or two months.
crowd pitching pumped seen typical
That was typical Bagwell, ... You're never safe, even if he hasn't seen live pitching for two years or two months. He's going to give you a battle. The crowd got into it, and I think that pumped him up.
clubhouse good kindness knew nervous sure team
You kind of get nervous when you come in and see everyone around a new team and you're not sure what kind of clubhouse it is. I knew it was going to be a good clubhouse, but I didn't know it was going to be this good.
both work
That's the big question, ... It'll work out for both of us, I think.
bad bit bunt couple happier lose manager moved runners sleep tried trying
It makes the manager a little bit happier and you don't lose sleep over that, ... I tried to bunt a couple of bad balls. Even if I had moved the runners over, that's a success. That's what I was trying to do.
interested
It will be interesting, ... I'm kind of interested to see what transpires.
blue great time
It's a great time to be a Blue Jay.
against ahead good guys owe played road tough
We've got a tough road ahead of us, but we've played good against guys like that, ... and we owe Oswalt a beating.
along guys less runner third
A lot of guys, with a runner on third with less than two outs, we're going to concede that run. He can get that strikeout. Those guys don't come along too often, and when you've got one of them on your side, it's nice.
