barrel bat hard knowing mechanical productive receptive second trying turning work
He is like a sponge, ... He is very receptive and has an outstanding work ethic. We have been working on little mechanical things, like knowing where the barrel of the bat is and trying not to work so hard to get a better swing, and it is making him a more productive hitter. I think he is turning into one of the better second basemen in the league.
battling full help hurt last supposed trying weeks
He's not even supposed to be on it (running). He's battling through a lot of pain. It's bad. It was a tear, and he's back on it. He was out two weeks last month, a full two weeks. Him hurt doesn't help us, but we're trying to get every-thing we can out of him, and he's trying to give us everything he has.

I knew that we were getting an outstanding defensive player, ... His hitting we weren't so sure about. But defense is what we needed most.

crooked gonna hardest number per thrown
We didn?t get our big crooked number inning today. But that?s Can, that?s the hardest he?s thrown all year. It wasn?t 81 (miles per hour) or 82. It was 85, 86, which is not gas, but when you can throw the changeup and curveball at will, you?re gonna win.
baseball capable couple good hits hurt kept number playing runs sixth threw tonight walk win
But more importantly, we have to win tonight (Friday). We kept playing good baseball (Thursday), but a walk and a couple of hits really hurt us. But other than that, we didn't play poorly. They threw up a big number on us (six runs in the sixth inning), but we're capable of that, too.
home series win
We play well at home and now we need to win the series at home.
