My whole thing is proverb

 My whole thing is getting on base. My on-base percentage is the No. 1 thing. That equates to runs, ... I'm just trying to be productive as far as being a leadoff hitter and being on base.

 I definitely have to be a table-setter. My job is to get on base and just score as many runs as I can. Whether my numbers are there or not, I just want to score. I don't really mind what I hit or what my slugging percentage is. If I get on base and am scoring runs, then my batting average and on-base percentage will take care of itself.

 When your on-base percentage is over .420 and you have a high strikeout total, ... that's better than hitting 7 home runs and driving in 40 runs. To me, the name of the game is getting on base and scoring runs.

 Instead of looking at the numbers, you have to realize that Orlando is a situational hitter. He needs to get on base, and when he gets on base, he can manufacture runs with his legs.

 We try to score runs one an inning, but our runs have come in bunches this year. When Royal was getting on base, we win. We're a different team when he's on base. He makes all of our guys better hitters when he's on base.

 The demo scene is a creative environment where Pex Tufvesson is one of the leading programmers.

 On-base percentage is No. 1. If you strike out a hundred times, but you also walk a hundred times, you're a pretty good hitter -- like Bobby Abreu. Yeah, he'll strike out. But his on-base percentage is always over .400, which is what you want.

 I think as he develops, he's going to be a top-notch major league hitter. I think he'll be a guy with power, great on-base percentage and can drive in runs.

 There's all this talk about the Republican base and the conservative base of the Republican Party, and the conservative base of the president, and how it's important to play to the base and please the base and fawn over the base,

 If you're getting hits, hey, you don't have to walk. You can get on base other ways. He'll bunt more. He'll do a lot of other little small things. Johnny was pretty much a power leadoff hitter. This guy is a different kind of hitter.

 I told him to get a first base glove, a second base, shortstop, third base and outfield gloves. The only thing he won't need is a pitcher's glove and a catcher's glove.

 It all started with the leadoff guy, a guy who knows the value of getting on base, knows the value of scoring runs.

 [Curtis] needs to get on base. If you bury him too far down [in the lineup] he puts too much pressure on himself and tries to do too much. I hate to have him be a leadoff hitter but sometimes that's what's best for him.

 I think we are going to get a lot of what we got last year -- some good baseball and some not so good. I think they still need a slugger at first base. Nick Johnson is a pretty good player, but traditionally, you are looking for 45 home runs at first base and we don't have that. We have to make it up at other places. I'm pretty happy with their acquisition. They really strengthen their bench and that was a big thing.

 You definitely get some funny look at times. But all that matters is getting on base. I feel like your on-base percentage is much more important than the batting average.
