He's getting better pitches to hit. That's what happens when you start swinging well. The pitcher makes mistakes and you hit it instead of fouling it off.
ball bit good rough swinging swings time tomorrow
He's having a little bit of a rough time swinging right now, and we'll see if he can put some good swings on the ball tomorrow and go from there.
hitters playing roll swinging trying
He's on a little roll right now. He's playing very well right now. I want to keep him in the lineup when he's swinging good. He's been one of our better hitters on this trip. I'm trying to keep him going.
gotten hurt sure swinging wrist
He hurt his wrist swinging in the world games. We're not for sure where we're at right now. That's part of baseball. He could've gotten hurt here, too.

That one kind of choked me up. I thought that was a pretty nice thing by big Buck.
arguing ball catch great job looked pitcher pitchers start turned wood
Their pitcher was aware. Wood did a great job there. Most pitchers would catch the ball and start arguing with the umpire. He was very aware. He turned around looked home. He did a great job on that play.

It's a boring kind of thing, really. I think common sense pretty much tells you where it is.

I can't see Rad not wanting to go out there.

Terry doesn't throw out 'very good' very often.

This is serious, very serious, and a lot of people are going to learn from this. We're going to help him get through this thing and make him understand how serious this is. He wants to face the penalty, and that's the right thing to do.
classy help presence ready takes whatever
A presence like his can only help. He's a pretty classy man. He told me he's ready to do whatever it takes to help. If I need him to help some young kids, he'll do that.

Our hearts and our prayers are all with Puck. We know its a tough situation out there.

He can do those things. That's what we envisioned when he got him over here.
