hitters less noticed offense pitching pressure shown staff throwing time
I've noticed we've been going after hitters a lot more this year, and throwing more strikes, and it's shown in our success. It's been nice. Any time the pitching staff is doing that better and more consistently, there's a lot less pressure on the offense going in.

I'm not offended. It's outrageous and an outrageous claim.

He is a guy that is capable of carrying his team with his bat. He kind of gets hidden in our lineup. He is in a zone right now, and when you get that way, you want to keep on playing.

Any time you get named in a list like that, it's very humbling. You see the careers those guys have had, and the career Pujols is going to have, it's nice to be a part of that group.
anytime ball drive games good hard job lack looking shows swinging
The way the first 10 games have gone, I've done a pretty good job of swinging at good pitches. That shows in the lack of strikeouts. Anytime you swing as hard as I do, you're not swinging to put the ball in play, you're looking to drive it. Anytime you do that, you're going to swing and miss. But if I swing at better pitches, my whole game will be better.
business deal easy enjoy glad happy playing ready
I'm happy to get this deal done and kind of get the business out of the way. I enjoy playing the game. This isn't always an easy part of it. I'm glad to get ready to play the game.
