ball base biggest coleman gets puts strike willie
Obviously, he's not Willie McGee or Vince Coleman . The biggest thing is, he gets on base and he puts the ball in play. He doesn't strike out much.
alex base gets good hits knee lost takes ton
I think Alex Gonzalez is as good a shortstop as you'll find. He's got this play where he kind of takes the knee and slides to his right and gets up and fires. I've lost a ton of base hits on that play.
base careers drove hit key last men runs scoring shown throughout
It's going to be key for Coco and I to get on base. (Ramirez and Ortiz) have shown throughout their careers that they hit well with men on base and men in scoring position. They drove in, what, 140 runs last year? That's a lot.
guy next playing plays seen spoiled
You become spoiled playing next to a guy like Khalil. He made a lot of plays other shortstops can't make, but I've seen Gonzalez make all the plays.
good job pennant race surprised
I was surprised by that. I thought he did a real good job for us. And he had been in a pennant race before.
coleman willie
Obviously, he's not Willie McGee or Vince Coleman ,
dictates experience helps turn
I think his experience is going to be unbelievable tomorrow. He doesn't have any fear, and he doesn't take his time. He dictates the pace. As an infielder, that helps so much. Having him go tomorrow, I think he could turn this thing.
best glad honest national pitcher team
I thought he was the best pitcher in the National League, to be honest with you. He got me out a lot. I'm glad he's on my team now.
lately runs
I think the way we've manufactured runs lately is encouraging,
pitches saw
I saw a lot of pitches from him, and I was used to him.
basically bit catch spring throw training week whoever
I think double-play combinations are probably a little bit overplayed. You basically catch it and throw it and catch it again. Whoever it is, we'll probably only need a week in Spring Training to get in sync.
aggressive helped seeing
I think that helped me out in seeing some pitches, and I know he?s aggressive and always comes after you.
I got called up from New Orleans, actually,
care win
If we win the division, I don't think anybody's going to care about our record,
