compliment goes hit hitters huge learn pitch stop walking younger
It's a huge compliment to him. As he goes on, he will learn how to hit in those situations. When some of our younger hitters get better, they will stop walking Miguel so much and have to pitch to him a little.
catcher guys hitters job position stay team
But you think about it, what does a catcher do? His job is to keep the other team from scoring, try to set up the bullpen, put your guys in a position to win. And most catchers have to do the little things as hitters to stay around.
downhill hit hitters plane trying
That downhill plane that hitters are trying to hit is a lot different.
drove hitters pitchers season shows stands stayed
It shows me he doesn't budge on lefties. He stands in there. Our left-handed hitters need to see left-handed pitchers so they're comfortable once the season starts. He stayed right in there. I think it was an 11-pitch at-bat. The 11th pitch, he drove it. That's what I want to see.
drive great guy hitters walk
Great hitters are able to do that. They're still going to drive in 120 runs. You're not going to walk a guy 700 times. That would be a record.
blown drive good guys hitters last lost supposed top tough
It is the way that it is supposed to be. Your top two hitters get on, and the 3-4-5 guys drive them in. We have lost some tough games, and we were pretty much blown out the last two days. It was good to see our guys come back and battle.
good hitters pitchers standing throw
I thought we had a very good day. Pitchers were able to throw with hitters standing in.
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.
dealt guess hand happens next teams three winning
The winning teams I've been on, there's always been a clear-cut closer. I think that's important. But I guess we're going to play the hand we're dealt with and see what happens in the next three weeks.
daily lacks last might seen surprised teammates ways
I don't think Hanley lacks confidence. I think Hanley is not surprised that he made that play last night. Now, he might have surprised some of his teammates who haven't seen him play on a daily basis. But I don't think Hanley is surprised he made that play. He went a long ways over. I'm not surprised at what he does.
favorite team
That's my favorite part of the game. If the other team can't score, they can't win.
hit losses three winning
It's frustrating to be 1-4 because it could have been 4-1. And that's the frustrating part. It could have been 3-2, 2-3. Three of the losses you're one hit away from winning the game.
develops goes hopefully time
Hopefully someone develops into that as time goes on.
capable count guys looking pitch
They are looking for a pitch to drive, and I'm not going to take it away from them. We have some guys who aren't capable of working the count yet.
