baggy ball bat good guy head hitting throwing zone
I thought his at-bat was a very good at-bat. His bat head was in the hitting zone on the ball he fouled back, and that's a good sign. The guy was throwing pretty good, was varying his speeds. Baggy was able to get the bat head out there.
bats took
He just took our bats and shoved them up our bat racks.
bat continues good nice spring swing training
Munson had a nice spring training. If he continues to swing the bat like he's been doing in spring training and give us a threat, then that's a good thing.
bats good happen night pitch roy swinging
They were swinging the bats pretty good and it didn't look like things were going to happen with a big night offensively. So Roy had to pitch well, and he did. So did Brad.
bat confidence help lamb lift longer morgan plus power quite saying seen starting step stretch swing time
I've been saying for quite some time now that Lamb is going to have to be a big plus for us down this stretch drive, and he is starting to swing the bat like we've seen in the past. It was a big lift tonight. We don't know how much longer Morgan is going to be out, but if he (Lamb) can step up and swing with power like we know he can, I think that will help everybody's confidence a little bit.
bats pitching today
I don't know how much of that was their pitching today and how much was we didn't get the bats on the ball,
bat hopefully maybe swinging tender three
I feel like he's swinging the bat well. I don't want to see him out there at the plate, have three at-bats and maybe be a little tender and maybe do something a little different. We'll give him one more day and hopefully he'll be 100 percent.
bat break days good mental might rolling swinging tough
I might not have done it had he been really swinging the bat well, but sometimes you need a mental break when you're having a tough stretch. Most of his days off will come on day games, but he will play on long stretches when he will be rolling good and won't get as many days off.
pick scientific
Pick 'em out of a hat. We just need somebody. Nothing scientific in the formula.
stuck top
No, ... He snow-coned it. Stuck to the top of his glove.
balls complete guy pitches throws
The guy throws 95 pitches and pitches a complete ballgame, so we didn't put too many balls in play.
remembered series win
If you can get into the World Series and win the World Series in Houston, you can be remembered forever.
electric people wound
I just think it would be electric for the city. People are just so wound up.
fortunate works
He's puffed up pretty good. I think he'll be able to play on Friday. We're fortunate to have the off-day tomorrow. That works well.
