hit trade
I said I'd trade a hit for a win. Unfortunately it didn't happen.
hit whatever
He was real good. Whatever he wanted to throw, he hit it. It was on the black. He didn't mess.
cage coach four good hits hitting personal plate runs swings worked
I had two good swings (in the first four plate appearances), so I went back to the cage and worked with my personal hitting coach Shane Victorino on my swing some more. We put up just enough hits and runs for me to get another at-bat.
ball great hit nice pitcher pitching series starting
It was a nice series win. It was great to come out and hit the ball the way we did tonight. We got great pitching out of our starting pitcher today.

Keep him sick all year long. I have this new virus, Ryan, I want you to try it.
attention brought opportunity prove star
