He just struggled all night long. They weren't smashing balls all over the place. They hit some balls off the end of the bat and they found some holes.
early ended hit home last runs usual year
He didn't hit a lot of home runs early last year (four through May), either, and he still ended up with his usual 25 to 30 (25).

benny both good great hitting lights pitchers stuff threw
He (Sheets) was lights out. Both pitchers threw phenomenally well tonight. They both had great stuff and were hitting their spots. Benny was about as good as Benny could be.
depends game games hitter lost runs score second seen stage
I'm not going to concede too many runs in this series, ... It depends on who the hitter is, what stage of the game we're at. I've seen a lot of games lost where you're in the first or second inning and you say, 'Eh, let them have that run. We're going to score a bunch.' And you end up losing, 1-0.
hitter shows
That shows the kind of hitter he is.
hitters talking third trouble
He didn't have any trouble getting the first two hitters out. We're talking about a third of an inning that killed us.
both hit home runs
J.J. is going to hit some home runs. He's not a Punch-and-Judy hitter. Both of the home runs he has hit (this week) have been big for us.
bit ended evident help hit instead putting runners runs score struggled struggling takes team three walks
(Capuano) just struggled all day. He could never get it going. We had too many walks all day. We ended up with nine. When a team has been struggling to score runs a little bit like they have, you can't help them out by putting runners on. Then it only takes one hit instead of three to score a run. That was evident in the first inning.
ball bullpen found hard hit
The bullpen just struggled. They hit the ball hard and they found the holes.
ball hit last opposite pierre
It nicked off his glove. With two strikes, we play in on Pierre on the opposite way anyway. About the last thing he will do is hit a ball the opposite way over an outfielder's head.
guy hit problem
You're behind, you get on the attack, and the guy hit it out of the park. I've got no problem with that.
ball clean contact count early good guys hit move pitch talk
That's something that we talk about every day: You pitch to contact with your good stuff. That's what you look for. You want guys to have good, quick, clean innings. You want to go out there, let them hit the ball early in the count to one of your defenders, get the out and move on.
