blaming facing fact game good saw struggling stuck sure
We've been struggling with our at-bats. But we've stuck with our game plan. We've been blaming (the slump) on the fact that we've been facing good pitchers. And we have. We saw another one tonight. And it sure is good to see Ichiro going again.
fact game good putting run stick struggle struggling tried
We've been struggling to get hits. But we've tried to stick with our game plan. We've been putting our struggle down to the fact we've run into good pitching.
drive enjoy good guys hired job
That's my job. That's why I was hired to come here, to drive in runs. I enjoy those situations. The guys did a good job to get on.
catch good six teams time tough
It's going to be a tough month, a tough first six weeks. But you've got to play these teams sometimes, and now is a good time to see where we're at. You can always catch fire.
believe good half hope
You try not to hope. Hope is not a good word. That's half the battle. You've got to believe you can win.
balls believe brought good hitting missing remember
I remember missing balls and hitting them out that way. I can't believe they brought it in. That will be good for Jenks (Geoff Jenkins).
fast good hit side sign split start stayed threw
I hit that one good. He threw me a good split to start me off with. The encouraging side is I stayed back and went more off-speed conscious, and just kind of reacted to the fast ball. It's a good sign for me.
base chance drive good open rather seem situation theory understand walk
If it does work, then there's a base open and they're going to walk me anyway. I don't understand the theory why he stole there. It doesn't seem to be a good green-light situation with two outs. I'd rather there not be a base open and give me a chance to drive in the run.
best career good numbers
He was one of the best in the game. Look at his career numbers and he's right up there in some good company.
award win
It's not an award you want to win more than once.
hits knows
Everyone knows he'll have his 200 hits by the end of September, That's possible, too.
happen stay terms
It's not a milestone. When you first get to the big leagues, you don't think in terms of getting 1,000 hits. It's just something that can happen when you stay around awhile.
consistent second settling starting teams third
I'm getting consistent at the plate. I'm starting to see teams for the second and third times. I'm settling in. I think it's working.
bad perfect swing time
If not now, then when? The time is perfect for a change, I think. I know I can do better than I've been doing. Right now my swing is in a bad place.
