good hitters pitchers standing throw
I thought we had a very good day. Pitchers were able to throw with hitters standing in.
battle fight guy guys hit jim played time
Jim is a guy who played a long time in the big leagues. Every day he had to battle to fight for every hit he got. I like that, guys who have battled through adversity.
begging hit team
Miguel was begging the opposing team to give them one more inning to hit and see if they could get those two runs, but sorry, you can't do that in the real game.
evaluate happen hit nervous younger
You kind of have to try to evaluate each guy, what's happening. Some of them are pressing. Some of them are nervous about what's going to happen if they don't get a hit in the at-bat. That's part of being a younger player.
downhill hit hitters plane trying
That downhill plane that hitters are trying to hit is a lot different.
hit player squeeze
That was the kind of player I had to be. I had to do the little things to win, and they have to do a lot of them. They have to hit and run, they have to steal, they have to squeeze some,
guy hit home last month nice obviously project year
He showed for a month last year that he was a guy who can hit some home runs. If you hit home runs, you obviously are going to put up big numbers. He had 11 in a month -- basically, in 100 at-bats. If you project that out, that would be real nice for any club.
anxious bad body control fine hit hurry learning line stand wants weeks work
There is a fine line between being able to control your body and having all that energy. He's learning how to do it. He wants to get a hit so bad that he will do anything it takes. If you told him to stand on his head, he would try it. Sometimes you try to make up for two weeks in one day. It doesn't work that way. You're anxious to get a hit. You're in a hurry to get a hit.
base bunt hit might opposed side situation
Hanley got the big base hit. It's a situation where you might bunt but I wanted to find out if he could hit to the right side to get him over. He showed me that he could and he set up the two-run inning as opposed to the one-run inning (with the base hit).
discussion hit microphone throw
If it's a discussion every day, it's a discussion every day. If it's a little microphone I throw in his earpiece ... I'll just tell him to hit stand-up doubles, that's all.
bad ball breaking hit
He has made the adjustments. He will look bad on a breaking ball and then he will get a hit on a breaking ball.
balls counted five hit
We counted it up. We hit 11 balls on the button. And what did we get, five hits?
figure hitter holes pitchers smaller
Every hitter has holes in his swing. Some holes are smaller than others. When pitchers figure Jacobs out, he will have to make the changes.
difficult game hit runners ugly win
It was an ugly game for us. We didn't pitch, we didn't play defense, we didn't hit with runners on. It's difficult to win a game like that.
