hitters pitches
We know he's very capable. He has the pitches to get major-league hitters out.
came says schedule
What the schedule says is what you do. I think we came out of it pretty good, all things considered.
catch speed
We're going to speed Duff up and get him some at-bats. We've just got to catch up a little bit.
change landscape perception
With what we have here right now, ... you'll see the landscape change and be better than what the perception is.
center chris defensive eight games
We know what kind of defensive center fielder Chris Duffy is. To get him going offensively, it's not going to do us a lot of good, eight games in, to keep going back and forth.
beginning direction guys seeing themselves
We're seeing some of these guys beginning to escalate themselves in the direction that you want to see them going.
aware guy hit home runs seen type
He may not have seen live pitching, but he's the type of guy who wouldn't take long to resurrect his hand-eye coordination. I don't think he hit 700-and-something home runs by accident. I think you would have to be aware of him.
boils fact hit needed simply
It simply boils down to the fact that they got a hit when they needed it and we got a base-on-balls.
hitting people start
But if you start hitting people in the head, you got to be very careful.
believer fact gets hitters league looks major people stuff
I am a big believer in the fact that stuff gets people out, not what looks cosmetically correct. Stuff is what gets major league hitters out.
hit wonderful
He didn't hit it very well at all, but he hit it in a wonderful spot. That's baseball.
ballpark games hits six three win
First and foremost, you aren't going to win many games in this or any ballpark with one run. We get six hits from three people, and that won't make it at any park.
ahead entering good hitting life pitch seen
Go ahead and take that gun. What was important was the life of the pitch when it's entering the hitting area. That was as good as I've seen him.
careful game hitting hurting intention people seen start
I've never seen Curt Schilling go out and start a game with the intention of hurting people. But if you start hitting people in the head... you need to be very careful of that.
