great jim tracy tremendous
This is going to be great for Pittsburgh. Jim Tracy has had a lot of success, and he's done it with young guys. For us to get all that experience, it's a tremendous boost, I think.
asked
They were good. They were funny. But I asked if I could have one and they told me, no.
coming definitely everyday hopefully role team
I know my role on the team is coming off the bench, but I can definitely see myself as an everyday player. Hopefully that will come in the future, but I know my role.
chances hit miss swelling
I can't take any more chances with that. It's no fun. Usually, if you get hit there, you miss a day or two with the swelling and the pain.
far hard head jack room wants weight whatever
I told him to keep his head up, to get in the weight room and do whatever he could do. Once you get that far down, it's hard to come out of it. Jack wants to do so well. To see what he went through was difficult.
ball guy hitting last mostly seen small soft swing year
Last year I was hitting mostly soft singles, ... This year I've got my swing back, and I'm hitting with authority. I've always been able to put the ball in play, and I've never seen myself as a small guy (he's 5-10, 188 lbs).
game guessing pitch throw
It's his stuff. He doesn't throw any pitch twice. It's kind of like a guessing game out there. I know I was guessing wrong.
I didn't want the break. I want to play as much as possible.
ball pitch spot threw trying
He never threw to the same spot twice, never threw the same pitch twice. You go up there just trying to put the ball in play.
against contact dreamed face good hits honor hope hoping three
Heck, it was just an honor just to face someone like him. All I was hoping to do was make contact against him and hope something good happened. I wouldn't have dreamed I'd have three extra-base hits off him.
game guessing
He doesn't give you anything twice. It's a guessing game with him and, today, I was always guessing wrong.
