amazing balls guys happens hitter pitching strikes threw throwing
I didn't like it that our guys threw so many balls. They were all throwing strikes pitching in the bullpen. It is amazing what happens when you put a hitter at the plate.
angels good hit hurt lapse pitching played sixth team
I thought our pitching was pretty good today. The Angels have a good team but we pitched well, hit pretty well and defensively played well. That one lapse in the sixth inning hurt us, obviously.
drive gets hit pitch
He's not going to hit 30 or 35 homers, but when he gets his pitch he can hit it out. He can drive the ball.
hit keeps plays
If he keeps making plays like that, ... he's not going to have to hit at all.
everyday hitter jeremy leading
He'll get some but it's not going to be an everyday thing. I don't necessarily think that Jeremy is a leadoff hitter or we want him leading off.
few hit series
Obviously, we didn't hit our spots. There were more than a few at-bats this series where we pitched him where we wanted to and we got him out.
hit threw
It was a combination -- (Baltimore) threw well and we didn't hit well.
game hit pitching staff sticks time
Absolutely. He handles the pitching staff very well. He has an idea out there and sticks with a game plan. We'd like to see him hit more, but there's time for that.
career gets good guys hitting performing season september slow starters track
You see guys now who are hitting .400 who, come September or July, they're going to be hitting .200. And there are guys who are notoriously slow starters who, as the season gets going, they'll play up to their career averages. We have guys who are not performing well right now who have good track records, and they'll be there when all is said and done.
ball hit wrong
The ball was hit well, just to the wrong place.
badly ball hit miss spots
Obviously, we didn't hit our spots today. When you miss as badly as we missed, you see what can happen. We just couldn't get the ball where wanted to.
options soon ways
It's too soon to say A, B, C and D are going to happen. We have different options and different ways to go.

Eddie threw more pitches in that inning than he did all spring training.

It took a chunk out of the back of his finger.
