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.
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.
chances couple help hits stayed
We stayed in it, but they did little things to win. We didn't do that. They had some big hits and, of course, I had a couple chances to help us out and didn't do it. It's frustrating.
good hit home hook promise swing trying
I'm not trying (to hit home runs). I promise I'm just not trying to do too much, and it's yielded some pretty good results. When I go up there and try to swing hard, if I do hit it, I'll hook it foul.
chances couple help hits
They had some big hits and, of course, I had a couple of chances to help us out and didn't do it. It's frustrating.
reason
Better be. That's the reason we put up with this year.
attitude develop good start win
We need to get off to a good start and develop an attitude that we are going to win so we don't have that 'here-we-go-again' attitude.
good pitches tried
I got some good pitches to hit, but I tried to do a little too much.
expected good guess
I didn't really know what to expect. I guess I expected to feel good and I did feel good.
I'd kill myself if I wasn't here and we started winning.
baseball expect good knowing sitting stomach weird worse
I don't know what to expect. I don't know why baseball would make my stomach feel any worse than sitting on the couch. It's kind of weird not knowing what to expect. But I expect to feel good and I do feel good.
angles face
I wouldn't want to want to face him as a right-handed hitter. He comes at you at too many angles and at too many speeds.
Some of it is the pitching. Some of it is us.
maybe next year
Maybe next year I'll have a better hunch.
