He sounded like it was just going to be a little bump in the road. Hopefully, that's the case. |
He's always tough, but we had a pretty good approach. It seemed like his command wasn't exactly where he wanted it and we tried to take advantage of it. |
I got behind in the count and I was in a defensive mode. I was just trying to put the ball in play and luckily it was soft enough. It doesn't matter what kind of hit - a squibber, a double - as long as we get the 'W'. |
I haven't been hitting as well as I should be lately, ... I'm going to try and finish strong. |
I should not let anything like that frustrate me. I feel like I'm the caliber of player who can hit there, but I can't use hitting somewhere else in the lineup as an excuse. Whether I'm hitting third or sixth, I've got to put together good at-bats. |
It is just part of Spring Training soreness. If this was during the season, I'd play through it. |
Kevin is great to play behind. He works relatively fast, uses his fastball and throws strikes, and makes it easier on his defense. |
Sometimes you go through slumps, ... But I feel like if I put a couple of good at-bats together, I'll get my rhythm back. |
This is unfortunate, but with his attitude, this should be no big deal. We all just want him to get well and get back to the team when he can. |
We understand what's expected of us. We didn't need to spend a lot of time talking about that stuff. We just needed to get to work. |
