hope stop walk walking
We always have big rallies when they walk him. I hope they don't stop walking him.
benefit concerned far game hit looking played team
We'll see where we can hit him that will benefit him the most and the team the most. As far as I'm concerned right now, it's cleanup. That's what we're looking at now but we haven't played one game yet.
depended open
The possibility was open for him to be here during the game. It all depended on something he had to do.
We did not do too much with Zambrano.
hit learn nobody pitch strike struck umpires
The pitch he struck out on was low. Nobody was going to hit that pitch. Some umpires need to learn the strike zone, too.
game hit intensity leadership life
Wow, he was good. The leadership there on the hill, the intensity ... we didn't hit much, but there was a lot of life in this game because of him.
delivery good left
His delivery left him for one or two pitches, but he regained it right away. That's a good sign.

address bad delivery either good hitter left pitch today
His delivery kind of left him for one pitch or two, but then he got it back. That's a good sign. With him, he's either good or bad, and today he was able to address his problem. Before, if he got a bad hitter or two, things got out of hand.
juggle tough
It will make it tough for me to juggle FelÃz and Alfonzo.
batting behind giving guy happens shot
He's contributing big-time to our winning, being on base, prolonging the inning, giving a shot to the guy batting behind him. It happens every year.
doubts hit swing walk
I don't have doubts that he'll hit or that they'll walk him. The swing has always been there.
glad win
This is the kind of win, you take it. You're really glad to win it, but you know some things need to be fixed.
