balls days few hit
It could take a week, it could take a few days -- you never know. It's just my timing. My timing's been off. But I feel like it's coming. I've hit some balls hard. That's encouraging.

chest hit nine
Nine times out of 10 he hit you right in the chest (on throws).
good hit
All I need is to feel right, have some good at-bats going into the playoffs. That's what it's all about. I've had some years where I hit .300 with 30 homers, but we didn't win. I want to be in those big games, when it counts.
couple himself key pitches throw
Our key is to make him throw pitches and get him out of there. He pitched himself out of a couple of jams.

I taught him English. He couldn't speak a lick of English.

I think everybody's going to come back better and stronger, and hopefully next year we can do a little better than what we did this year.

Freshman and sophomore years are over for these guys. It's time to go. We have the offense. Pitching is big.

This was a big win for us, ... We didn't need to get swept by these guys.

On good days, there is nothing wrong. I felt great on Opening Day (Monday). I was ready to head to Arizona and get ready to play. I had a setback. That's what caused this. Now we'll have to have a meeting of the minds pretty soon.
base baseman defense move pick typical
My defense at first base is good. I'm not like the typical first baseman who doesn't move well over there. Why do you think I get called the Pick Master?
help takes whatever work
I've still got a little work to do, ... but I'll do whatever it takes to help the team.

The MRI showed it was worse than anyone thought ---- completely bone on bone.
