baseball course eight hitting nuances players surprises thousands throughout
There are some nuances to hitting in the eight hole. It's nothing that thousands of players haven't done throughout the course of baseball history. Sometimes you don't get much to hit, but there are other times when they come right at you. I've hit there enough that I usually know the situation, but sometimes it surprises you.

We have to go out and win with what we have. We know Roy and Andy are 1-2 around here, and that's the way it was before Roger got here. We need people to step up and perform, but we're not worried. Roy and Andy are a pretty good pair of pitchers.

albert best clear coming face fastball fresh good guys hitter knows next start throw upset
A lot of guys get upset in that situation, ... but he was able to shrug it off. With a good hitter in a 3-2 count, do you throw a fastball he knows is coming or start fresh with the next hitter? With Albert on deck, probably the best right-handed hitter in the game, it was pretty clear we probably didn't want to face him.
