I wanted him to see how balanced Albert is. He keeps his head so still. That makes a big difference as far as seeing the ball.

You have no time to think about your footwork. You have to anticipate quickly. If you're late with the footwork, try to get it after the play is halfway over, it's too late.

His bat speed is as good as I've ever seen it. But it isn't a matter of getting back to where he was 13 years ago. It's a matter of being the best that he can be right now, and he is.

Every pinch-hit at-bat is like the first at-bat of spring training every year, like starting over every at-bat and it's a tough, tough job.

When Wily Mo sees the ball well, he makes good decisions as far as balls and strikes. Wily works at it. He wants to get better.

The main reason I showed him that wasn't even about copying Albert or anything. It was more the balance part of it. Albert has great balance. His body is not jumping and that means his head is not jumping. When your head is not jumping, you see the ball better.

It's out of our hands. But it's not the ideal situation.

It's always going to be a challenge to keep the strikeouts down with the personnel we have. We're trying to get those numbers down. But when you're scoring the most runs in the National League, I'll take that tradeoff.

But if he's able to consistently wait on the ball and see it a little longer and have a shorter stroke to the ball, the strikeouts can be cut down without losing his great power.
