biggest doubles drive driving hitter lots matter pride runs
Absolutely. I've always wanted to be a .300 hitter with lots of doubles and drive in runs. The biggest thing is driving in runs and it doesn't matter how you're driving in runs as long as you are. I just take pride in that.
barrel game hit leading lost obviously run scoring seventh throw trying
It hit the end of my glove. It just sneaked out of there. I know he was trying to throw up and away. You obviously don't want to throw it there. You don't want him to get the barrel on the ball. But that's not where we lost the game. We lost the game by not scoring a run with Wes Helms leading off the seventh with a double.
pitching seen typical
That was typical Bagwell. You're never safe, even if he hasn't seen live pitching for two years or two months.
barrel beat
He doesn't give you anything that you're going to put the barrel on consistently. When we beat him, it was just one of those days. We kind of got lucky.
happened moves
All the right moves were made, hopefully. It's just the way it happened today.
balls middle
Location. He's down, he's away, he's in. His balls go away from the middle of the plate.
crowd pitching pumped seen typical
That was typical Bagwell, ... You're never safe, even if he hasn't seen live pitching for two years or two months. He's going to give you a battle. The crowd got into it, and I think that pumped him up.
bases everybody good guys hit home nice steal wait
We got good guys to hit and run, to steal bases so we don't have to wait for the three-run home run. But it's always nice to have that option. ... It makes everybody better in that lineup.
against ahead good guys owe played road tough
We've got a tough road ahead of us, but we've played good against guys like that, ... and we owe Oswalt a beating.
