answer anybody beat bit guys team understand
It was a little bit over the top, but a lot of guys have their styles. The thing of it is, we don't really have anybody on our team who does that. I understand guys have their individuality, but the way to answer that is to beat him.
beat bit guy happens
Sometimes, I like to see a guy get beat up a little bit and see how he reacts. I like to see what a guy does when that happens - 'cause you're going to get it every now and then.
applaud ball beats bunch great guy hanging next pitches takes tough
That was a great at-bat. You never know if that has anything to do with the next guy, but when a guy makes a bunch of pitches on you, and he nubs the ball to shortstop and he beats it out, I think it takes something out of you. You've got to applaud Willy for hanging tough in that at-bat.
badly beaten celebrate change matter
They have beaten us up pretty badly this year. They have really thumped us pretty good. Just as a matter of pride, we would not want to see them celebrate here again. We'd like to change that.

beat couple dominated few last people throws
He's dominated a few people the last couple of years. When he throws strikes, he's not going to get beat around too much.
anticipate ball beat bit burst call doubt exciting feet game hits incredible last realize rookie season seeing seven six thrown tired umpire win year
If he hits a ball hard, you can get him out. If he hits it soft, he'll beat it out every time. He has an incredible burst the last 15 feet or so. There have been six or seven times this season when an umpire will anticipate a little bit and call him out and then realize that he was safe. I got thrown out of a game or two because I got tired of seeing that. I don't know if he's going to win the rookie of the year or not, but there is no doubt he's an exciting player.

We just had a lot of Dontrelle Willis tonight, more than I'd care to see, ... Brandon (Backe) threw the ball well. He had a lot of good pitches and only a few mistakes. That was a decent job against a team that is really swinging the bat well.

against bottom good job line missed pitches pitching zone
We missed some pitches that we should have hit, and we expanded the (strike) zone sometimes when we probably shouldn't have. But the bottom line is they did a pretty good job of pitching against us.

What's happening is we're getting timely hits and we're doing it from all parts of the lineup.

We had the lead. When we get it, normally we keep it. We will. We're good at it. We've been doing it all year.
