happening hits parts timely
What's happening is we're getting timely hits and we're doing it from all parts of the lineup.
ballgame chance couple crossed drive hitters squeeze win
The thought of a squeeze crossed my mind, but you think he's one our better hitters and you want him to have a chance to win the ballgame and drive in a couple of runs.
early hit needed
We had him early on the ropes a little bit. We couldn't come up with a big hit when we needed it.
bring clutch guy hits
I think he's the guy that can bring some clutch hits for us. I'm going to do the right thing for the team.
accept fact high hit
You just have to accept the fact that you're probably not going to hit as high as you know you can,
clutch good hit mike shown
I think Mike can hit good pitchers, and he's shown us for a year-and-a-half he can come through big in clutch situations.
good hit lamb situation
I think Lamb is a very good hitter, ... I've let Lamb hit in that situation many times.
baggy ball bat good guy head hitting throwing zone
I thought his at-bat was a very good at-bat. His bat head was in the hitting zone on the ball he fouled back, and that's a good sign. The guy was throwing pretty good, was varying his speeds. Baggy was able to get the bat head out there.
good guys hits win worst
We need them in the worst way, and we need to win them in a pretty good fashion, too. These guys have come in here. They've come up with the big hits when they need them. They look like they're comfortable, and we need to put something in their heads, make them think about us a little bit.
base hits
We haven't come up with a lot of base hits like that, that I can recall.
good hitter hitting mistake
He's a good hitter and he's hot. You make a mistake and he's hitting it. We made a mistake, and he hit it.
expect eye good hit home runs strength
I don't think his strength is there. To expect him to hit home runs would be optimistic. He still has a good eye at the plate. He still has quickness.
against ball changing good hits job pitching sharp team
I don't think he was as sharp as he's going to be, but for pitching against a team that hits the ball well, he battled through it. He did a good job of changing things.
ball hit
I don't know what would have happened, ... but clearly, the ball hit the bat.
