afraid gone guys helps lost
It helps out a lot, ... If they'd gone out and stunk, it would have been very disappointing. Obviously, we would have lost a lot more games. But these guys are not afraid of anything.
good trying
Honest, I'm just trying not to do too much and it's yielded some pretty good results,
ball hard moves threw throws tough
He throws hard, the ball moves everywhere. He threw a hard slider. He's tough to hit.
ball definitely everybody experience gets good mean talent time win
Time will tell but we definitely have the talent, but that doesn't mean nothing. We have to go out and win ball games. There are a lot of good players. The more experience everybody gets the better we are going to be.
time
There are no more excuses. It's time to put it on the line. It's time to win.
hit knew
When I hit it I knew it was gone. I got all of it and it was a big hit at the time.
good pitchers seen
We've seen some pretty good pitchers this year. And this is a young team. Many of them haven't seen pitchers like this.
ability chance everybody game hard nobody plays teams
I think we've got a chance to be a lot better this year. If everybody just plays to their ability. Nobody really has to go off, nobody has to do anything crazy. There are going to be teams better than us, talent-wise, but we are going to play the game hard and we never give up.
negative watch
I watch the film, so I know what I've done off a guy. I don't look at it as a positive, just like I don't look at it as a negative if I haven't done well off a guy.
behind head kid showing start stays teaching technique
His technique is flawless. He's short, quick. His head does not move. He stays behind the baseball. If you were teaching a swing, I would start by showing the kid Bonds' swing.
glad learned
Hopefully, we all learned something here. I'm glad he didn't take me out.
anyone fear
He doesn't fear anything or anyone when he's out there.
team upset
I was upset with myself. But when you let your team down, you want to help.
everybody feeds gets guy hitting hot swinging winning worked
It all kind of worked together. That's just the way hitting is. Everybody feeds off each other. One guy gets hot and everybody gets hot. We all started swinging better and we started winning games.
