It's a mistake. People are going to make mistakes. He obviously did a good job blocking it out.
He did a great job. He just kind of teased the strike zone, throwing borderline pitches and making you chase them. It shows you that if you have good pitching, it stops good hitting.
I was pretty good at math growing up. I don't think too many guys were aware of it.
This doesn't happen too often. We were right in the position we want to be in in the ninth inning, with Mo. Even when they got the first couple of guys on, we still like our chances. ... He made a good pitch, the guy just found a hole.
I thought Chase's ball was gone when he hit it. I mean, he crushed that ball, but you've got to hit it pretty good to get it out in that part of the park.
Any way you can get it done now. Robbie put down a good bunt to get the runners over. It seems like every at-bat is important at this point in the year.
Good for him. Now he has the chance to be remembered for something other than just catching a home run.
He's got that demeanor where he's just having fun, it seems like. Sort of like Soriano a little bit in that sense. He's always smiling, having a good time. He doesn't seem to be affected.
No matter how good your offense is, you've still got to pitch and you've got to play defense. We didn't have any problem scoring runs last year.
It's not that hard to figure out. I was always good in math.
It's easy to play when you score 15 runs with Randy Johnson pitching. But it'll take a while to find out how good we really are. But I like what I see so far.
From playing with him, if you don't capitalize on him early he gets stronger. You hope it doesn't come back to haunt you, but looking at it now we wished we could have gotten a couple more runs there. But he made good pitches and he got out of the inning and then we had opportunities later in the game and didn't do anything with it.
It goes without saying how special a player he is, what he represents in the game. So it was an honor for me that he wanted to take a picture. He wanted to take a picture with me? It was definitely a good feeling.
I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who had the chance to play. It was a good experience besides the results.
