I think batting ninth really gives me a chance to see everything that the pitches has. I've probably seen him throw all his pitches to the first eight hitters.

I know that they are healthy and safe.

I'm trying to hit the ball to center field and right field more. That's what I'm working on so I have better chances and more chances for hits.

They made it look so easy. They were so very comfortable out there.

I was just looking to make contact. When I saw the ball go through, I was glad Willie was running. He's the best base runner in the league.

It's more of a technical thing. Now I know how to hit a breaking ball much better because of my work with the hitting coach. Before, I was swinging straight through those. I had no chance at it at all.
