Babe Ruth

The key in shooting any good round is to give yourself some chances and, tomorrow, if my swinging is feeling any good, I'll have some chances. But, if it's not, then I'll have to give myself those 15 to 20 footers and hope I can make those.

Tiger Woods

I've had good luck swinging Woolly Buggers or just about any streamer through the deeper runs. I catch a lot of the stockers, but I also catch some larger fish too. I'd say I've caught 12 or 15 rainbows and browns from 11 to 17 inches in the past few weeks.

Jay Hayes

We just weren't having good at-bats against him. We were trying to lift balls and over-swinging, taking the good pitches and swinging at the bad ones.

Don Werner

What can I say? We just didn't give up. We kept swinging the bats well. It took off a lot of the pressure coming back from down three with two innings left. That was huge for us.

I know that we're gonna be back in New Orleans, swinging like we've never swung before, in due time.

Kermit Ruffins

I told our guys we've grown up a lot this week. We've got five games in and we've seen a lot of positives. Offensively we've got a lot of guys swinging the bat well. Defensively, other than last night (at Benjamin Logan) we played very good for four out of our five games.

Jason Brandt

It's disappointing to not get this one in. We ran into a red hot team that's swinging the bats well and they're playing well at home.

We've got the talent ... but we're still young and we're still learning. I figure in another couple of weeks, we'll be swinging pretty good. We just need more experience in competition and more hard work.

Jeff Lewis

One thing I did was stop thinking so much. I'm just going out there and swinging the bat.

We started off slow. Male was getting good pitching and we weren't swinging the bats that well, but we got going later on and the hits started to drop in for us. We haven't played in several days and it took us awhile to get going.

Donnie English

Hopefully, I can change things. I think I'll hit where I deserve to hit in the lineup if I'm swinging the bat well. You know, it doesn't matter that much. Hopefully it's somewhere in the middle, where I think I can help us win games.

Justin Morneau

Our whole mission is enriching lives through learning. Basically, that means exposing them to everything, whether it's swinging a golf club or developing a picture.

We came out ready to hit. We came down, we lost a game or two and I think we bounced right back up. Everybody's swinging the bat.

Nick Hernandez

Last week, I was swinging long. Tonight, I was just trying to stay short and in. I wanted to drive (the grand slam) for a double but it carried out of here.

Ben Woods

I thought he looked great. Those balls would have been out if it hadn't been for the wind. He's swinging the bat well.

Gerald Perry

It was nice to see us come out again (offensively). We've been swinging the bats well. We sent six batters up in the first and pushed two runs across. We had runners stranded in every inning but the fifth, so we had opportunities. I'm really pleased with our performance.

Bob Grimes

It was hard for Nigel to adjust that quick - there was no suggestion of a swinging arm, but maybe a bit of a shoulder [hit].

Sharon Johnson

Action is at bottom a swinging and flailing of the arms to regain one's balance and keep afloat.

Eric Hoffer

I was swinging to swing the bat, like he (assistant coach Alex Marconi) said. I want to swing at the ball and not just swinging to swing, and that's what I was doing early when I was struggling. Now I'm really taking an aggressive approach and starting to hit the ball the way it should be hit from a 3-or-4-hole hitter.

Brad Miller

I thought he looked great. He's swinging the bat well, and his timing looks like it's there. The key is that he got the barrel of the bat on the ball and he was laying off tough pitches. He's been able to get 30 at-bats relatively quickly.

Gerald Perry

I knew some of the guys (in the Syracuse lineup) from last year, and a lot of the new guys didn't waste any time swinging at strikes. I struggled a bit early but got out of it.

Boof Bonser

The kids did fight hard, they didn't do a bad job swinging the bats. I wish we would have a few more hits than we did.

Stacey Alston

I don't like the way he's swinging. He says he's 100 percent healthy, but I choose to believe something's bothering him.

Pete Mackanin

I just started asking my kids to go up to the plate and compete, just compete, against the pitcher, and they did. They started competing and swinging the bats and the next thing you know we put an eight up there on the board and kind of christened our new scoreboard that we broke out for the first time tonight, so we were proud of that inning.

Brooks Shumake

Austin threw a great game and what can I say it was clutch hitting. Andy worked on some stuff in the cage and was swinging well in batting practice today. He got a hold of a couple today. I'm happy for him.

Troy Farnsworth

We worked on his mechanics a little bit and changed it up. But he's got a good eye for the ball, keeps his hands back and puts the ball in play. He's been swinging it well, and he stepped up and delivered. That's what a senior does.

Ron Rushing

Terry just said there was a comfort level there. I'll tell you this: Southern Miss went down swinging. They did a heck of a job and fought right to the end.

Teddy Dyess

The last two games we went up there swinging the bats. Today we seemed to take a lot more pitches. It just wasn't our day.

Bryan Baucom

We played lousy; very, very badly. Our defense didn't play well, and all of a sudden, we're not hitting the ball, just popping up and swinging at bad pitches.

Harvey Staver

Obviously, Brandon pitched a phenomenal game. We obviously made some big mistakes in the eighth inning. But the big question is the bats. This is not Oklahoma and Mississippi State. I'm very disappointed with the offense. (Ryan) Campbell is the only one swinging the bat well.

Jim Schmitz

I knew they were going to go in swinging... so I had to outthink them.

Alex Castillo

When you have a game like that early in the year, it's great. I've been swinging the bat pretty good in spring training, so I just stayed with the same routine, the same philosophy into the season.

Pudge Rodriguez

We have been swinging the bats well lately. Each game is going to be different, and we've had a few good hitting games in a row.

Chez Sievers

It's exciting to watch these kids play. They're playing like a team. You're starting to see, where if somebody tries to step out on one of them, they're swinging the ball to the other person or kicking down to the low block.

Rick Butler

I came out swinging. I'm not going just for a top finish. I'm here to win.

Bucky Lasek

We talked about coming ready to pitch and play, and I think that was the difference. Josh came out and took charge of the game. We came out aggressive swinging the bats, put some runs up early and that gave us some breathing room.

Randy Ready

It's a little frustrating, especially the way we were swinging the bat in Arizona.

Chris Woodward

He's hot, and I think the thing he's doing exceptionally well is swinging at good pitches. He's patient up there, and when he gets a good pitch, he hits it.

Calvin Baisley

It was not one of his best games. But, with that, we have to give credit to the other team, too. They came in hacking. They came in swinging.

Yadier Molina

She's got a lot of rise balls and people were swinging at them. I was trying to lay off them.

Sarah Bowman

It's been swelled up, so he probably wasn't pitching as hard and (Thursday) he struggled swinging. For him to get us through, that was a big plus, especially tomorrow being our third league game since Tuesday. To up his record to 3-1, he's doing a good job.

Mike Huston

A blind bloke walks into a shop with a guide dog. He picks the Dog up and starts swinging it around his head. Alarmed, a shop assistant calls out: 'Can I help, sir?' 'No thanks,' says the blind bloke. 'Just looking.'

Esaias has developed a change-up this year and that's really helped him against left-hand hitters and big guys swinging through it.

Jeff Dufek

We're feeling good at the plate right now. A lot of guys are swinging it well and we've got a lot of guys that have a lot of confidence. We just started putting up a lot of runs. It's a lot of fun when you do that.

Justin Henry

Our ball movement was pretty good. We've been swinging the ball really well, always looking for the extra pass.

Jack Scalcucci

He has played very well defensively at third base. He's swinging the bat well. He can add some punch.

Gene Stephenson

We're still swinging the bats well. We're hitting the ball hard and getting hits at the right times.

Dennis Rine

We finally started swinging the bat the way we're capable of doing. It feels good that we started putting some pressure on the defense. That's all we can do. Hopefully, we'll continue to swing the bat.

Joey Estrella

She hits her spots pretty good. We were down in the count a lot and she caught a couple of us swinging over our heads (on third strikes).

Sue Herodes

We're swinging the bats really well and starting to build some confidence. We're still trying to find guys that fit roles.

Stan Sanchez

We know we're top-of-the-order guys and need to get on base. (Eric Chavez) is swinging a great bat. It helps to be on base when he's up.

Mark Kotsay

We just struggled. We went down swinging. I don't care how many innings you play, you do that, you're not going to win ball games.

Chad Epperson

I'm getting pitches to hit and swinging. Once you get your pitch, keep swinging.

David Ortiz

Same thing they did in the regular season. Fastballs, change-ups, he's just not swinging good.

Alfredo Griffin

She hustled on that swinging bunt down to first and beat it out, she made a couple of defensive plays, and she's playing up to her potential. And I'm glad to see it, because quite honestly there's been some times where she was a little slow getting started this season.

Rich Fulcher

Kevin pitched another good game for us. We've got some guys that are swinging the bat really well. We had some timely hits. Our success depends on what we do. As long as we can make good contact, we'll be in pretty good shape. We have to try to get a little better every time.

Billy Bryant

Swing hard, in case they throw the ball where you're swinging.

Duke Snider

The wind blowing out helped a little. We hadn't been swinging our bats well at all coming in here, but we did a good job of battling today.

Mike Warren

I think it probably seemed like I was anxious because I was swinging at bad pitches. I was thinking about it, but I'm going to keep swinging. Sometimes it looks bad and sometimes it doesn't, but I'm not going to stop swinging.

Vladimir Guerrero

I am proud of our guys because I really thought they maintained their focus for five straight days. Winning cures a lot of ills. It is lot easier to play when you're winning and you are swinging the bat and people feel good about themselves. Losing is a hard thing. I want it to not be fun when you lose.

Gary Powers

We didn't want to come out swinging. We wanted to come out sliding.

Kevin Drew

The American boy starts swinging the bat about as soon as he can lift one.

Tris Speaker

It feels good to be swinging the bat good and being able to get out there and just be healthy and have fun. You miss those things. The team is rolling right now and just to be in the middle of it is nice.

Mark Derosa

I don't try to force anything. I let the game come to me. They closed on me early, so I was swinging it out. And then they stopped doubling me, so I knew I could take control.

Anthony Slack

I thought we played better in the second game. We just had a horrible approach in the first game. We were looking at a lot of good pitches and swinging at a lot of bad pitches. We were just flat.

Jeff Stratton

It took a crazy bounce and I happened to be swinging up ice. As I went down the ice, I saw the defenseman was favoring Nick so I shot and it went in.

Jack Baer

I am more valuable to my team hitting .330 then swinging for home runs.

Roberto Clemente

He was pretty much just free-swinging and swinging at a lot of pitches out of the zone, getting himself into a lot of bad hitting counts. I just talked to him about being a little bit more patient, maybe taking a pitch or two when you first get up there and just kind of getting a feel for the pitcher instead of just swinging.

Stu Cole

It wasn't a blowout, but it was their game right from the start. We have just got to start swinging the bat better than we did tonight. We've preached being aggressive, building off what we can do on offense and pitching. But at the same time, if you don't hit you aren't going to do much.

Jeff Zickafoose

We've been swinging the bats, and we got decent pitching, two nice pluses to have.

Dave Moates

Usually we're slow coming out of the gates with the bats. Today we came out swinging the bats early and that was definitely big. It seemed like we were more comfortable in the box. I think playing at home helped - we haven't played a lot of home games.

Joe Caruso

Hopefully, our pitching will hold up. Buchholz has been swinging the bats awfully well (scoring 35 runs in three tournament games), so we'll have our work cut out for ourselves.

Will Minor

We were contagiously all bad at the same time, now we're contagiously all swinging the bats pretty good. Baseball's a funny game. You can't figure it out. When it's good, you just try to enjoy it as long as you can.

Jay Payton

I was just a mental case, to tell you the truth. I worked on my approach and learned what pitch to swing at and it's paid off. I was just swinging at bad pitches.

Tyler Colvin

When we were going to Mariah so many times, they put two on her. She was swinging away but getting blocked and we weren't covering. We decided to set the outsides. Both outsides hit the ball pretty well. Ellyn Will had a nice all-around game.

Travis Hull

We're not swinging the bats well right now, so we're putting a ton of pressure on our pitchers and defense to make every play.

Terry Stephenson

If you can put the bat on the ball time after time and put pressure on teams, good things are going to happen. And right now we're just swinging the pipes extremely well.

Gary Miner

We haven?t hit the ball real well all year, and finally we?re starting to come around on that. We worked hard on that in the last week or two. We?re swinging at pitches that we could hit. We got more selective at the plate and it really paid off for us. Hitting strikes, driving the ball well.

Bob Lewellen

We came out swinging the bats today. I was especially pleased with how many times we swung at the first pitch. We play better when we play aggressive, and we did a good job of being aggressive tonight.

Steve Strayer

Swinging an ax against the door certainly involves violence, but it was not directly against a person, ... He made no threats.

William Sharp

I feel so great out there, and I love being out there at my natural position. I feel like I've been swinging the bat really well over the past few games.

Chez Sievers

The last few weeks, it?s really come around. Even when I?m not swinging well, my putter will come around, and I can still shoot par or under par.

Bryan Pierce

(When) you're making your run (and) momentum is swinging your way, you just have to finish it off. It seems like we didn't cap it off because we couldn't knock down any shots.

Alando Tucker

It's just great to win a ball game after our many games of frustration. Our kids made some great defensive plays. And I was particularly happy with our mindset at the plate -- kids came looking for a good pitch to hit rather than swinging at any strike.

Lem Elway

There were three kids yelling at officers, swinging their arms, wanting to help their buddies out, which resulted in two arrests made for causing a disturbance.

Sgt. Paul Roderick

People have developed very inappropriate concepts of what happens. I think, in part, it is because of Hollywood. Hollywood's depiction is someone swinging a pendulum of some sort and gaining control of you. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Rhoda Kopy

Both of those guys are really swinging a nice bat for us. They've really been locked in from the start.

Chris Maloney

Swinging a club is not a problem, but the greatest thing is staying in it mentally and not getting frustrated because of the wind and the rain and the delays because of a backup on a particular hole. That was, to me, what gave Bluefield the victory, they were real patient all day.

Garry Moore

We had a good sense of humor about it, because we knew what we were holding on to and how it was going to exceed expectations and [labels]. We weren't running around naked in chaps swinging pink guns in the air. We knew that, and we found it funny that no one else did.

Heath Ledger

Oh yeah. It was a little black gun she had in her hand. I saw that. Just as clear as can be. And she struts herself across the street swinging the gun in her hand like it was nothing.

Barb Brusseau

I can't figure it out. I'm a little puzzled by it. It's pretty brutal how we're swinging the bats right now.

Jay Gibbons

With long-bond volatility , the dollar all over the map, and the Dow swinging from one extreme to the other based on perception of macroeconomic numbers, the question becomes how much (of) Latin equities do you want to trade in that kind of environment?

David Chon

Sometimes that pressure to make the team is good. Now it's more about getting into a good hitter's count and not about getting hits. Am I swinging at strikes and getting good pitches to hit? Any time you can get familiar or comfortable, it's easier to relax.

Adam Melhuse

I'm glad to see us swing the bat well. We were able to cover up our mistakes by scoring a lot of runs. Until we can figure out how to field the ball, we better keep swinging the bat.

Marty Smith

We were more looking to put the ball over more than to the feet. I think we should have played the feet a little bit. (With the wind, the ball) just kept swinging.

Mike Crook

We've got to get the bats going. Four runs in 33 innings is not going to do it. We're not facing Randy Johnson out there or Curt Schilling. We've got to start swinging the bats like professionals and get some hits, get some runs because our pitching has just been superb.

Don Werner

You go up for your first at-bat of the game [if you're starting], you know you have three or four more chances and can still make a difference. If you get that one at-bat, it's a do-or-die at-bat for you and the team. When you're not swinging well, you put extra pressure, and it can snowball pretty quick.

David Dellucci

I thought really at half-time they had the momentum swinging in their direction.... It easily could have been 21-21 at half-time.

Joe Labuda

We've scored 25 runs over the last two games, so we're swinging it pretty good. We've got some good hitters and we've got a good mix of older guys and younger guys. It all seems to work out.

Wayne Yancey

Watching the girls go in the afternoon, we noticed (the ice) was swinging a little bit more. You can get more aggressive. It's nice to get aggressive because you don't have so many close games.

Joe Polo

The Yankees flexed their muscles. What can I say? ... They came out swinging the bats and made a statement.

Lou Piniella

We're not swinging the bat. I think at times we are too selective and waiting on the perfect pitch.

Jimmy Lawler

We come out and we hit the ball. The guys are swinging it pretty good so far. Give us a little more time to get used to being outside, and I think the offense can keep us in games even if the pitching struggles a little bit.

Jeff Myaer

I'm just going to go out there and have a lot of fun and try not to think of it. I'm going to miss it, but I'm going to go out swinging and have fun.

Mark Barry

Dees was doing a good job of throwing that rise ball and we were swinging at it like we'd never seen one before. We started to stay back on it and be patient.

Wes Overton

We have our backs against the wall right now. We definitely need to come out swinging.

Lance Harris

The way I've been swinging the bat the last week-and-a-half, ... I'm not producing offensively the way I'm capable of doing.

Jose Guillen

We have been swinging the bats pretty good. They are real short handed up there and they don't have a lot of pitching depth and we knew that going in.

Kyle Poock

It's been a teeter-totter in the county the last decade - swinging back between the Republicans and Democrats depending on the circumstances of the moment.

Keith Haller

He's been on fire. We've been facing good pitching and the kids have been competing. That's all I ask for. We've been swinging the bat well. It was nice to see us get some two-out hits.

Dave Griffin

It's theology of the hammer. We feel that if you can demonstrate God's love by swinging a hammer, we'd love to have you.

Nathan Thompson

I'm getting more confidence in my off-speed pitch with every outing. Hitters are swinging at it, and that's a good sign. I want them to swing because that means it looks like a strike. I hate when they aren't swinging at it. The means it either doesn't look like a good pitch, or I'm not throwing it for strikes.

Ryan Madson

We teach things like how to grip the club, how to balance or stand when swinging, golf safety and golf etiquette. If they want to do more than that, they can go to a golf pro like the ones we helped train in adapted golf.

Roy Mccoy

I am a little concerned we were swinging for the fences in our first at-bat with someone who'd committed second-degree murder.

Mike Woodard

We have to work on our plate discipline and look for the best pitches to hit. Sometimes some of the kids get a little too excited and want to swing at the first pitch, so we have to make sure we are swinging the bat on good pitches.

Bobby Rodriguez

You've always got to be on top of your game when you're out there hunting. Some of the more common accidents we see are the victim out of sight of the shooter. One hunter swinging out of his zone of fire and shooting possibly his hunting partner.

Brent Ward

We've got some pretty good hitters and somebody keeps doing something good. Weaver throws a bunch of strikes, our guys are definitely swinging and somebody's going to win that battle.

Jerry Royster

Since I left after coming up a second time, ... I've felt pretty good swinging the bat. My comfort level is 100 percent better.

Gabe Gross

Through the first three innings, we were sticking the ball pretty good. We came out swinging at good pitches and hit the ball hard. Once Globe had that rally, though, I don't know if it took the wind out of our sails or what, but we just didn't respond to it.

Ramon Morales

(Our hitting) has been a turning point for us without a doubt. It probably started at the Lufkin tournament, and we have guys off the bench who are swinging well. It kind of helped us turn a corner.

Mike Pirtle

I always swing at bad pitches, ... But lately I was swinging at even worse ones.

Vladimir Guerrero

It's great for the offense to break out and have everybody pitch in. It can't just be one or two guys. Whoever is swinging the bat has to do it.

Geoff Jenkins

Definitely, once we started going, our momentum was swinging. We couldn't stop and the game wasn't over. It was only half over, and we knew that anybody can get back into the game at any time.

Samantha Woods

My interpretation is that's my 'strike three' mechanic when it's a swinging strike. If you watch, that's what I do the whole entire game.

Doug Eddings

Megan pitched very well. We're getting our swings at the plate. Morris and Conner both are swinging well. It makes it tough on opposing pitchers if we continue to hit well.

Tim Ricci

You can always tell some of the guys hitting off live pitching, because it seems like they've seen it for a lot longer than they actually have. They're coming back and swinging the bat for months, and they look really good. They're taking good cuts, swinging at strikes, and it's because they've seen good pitching as early as December, maybe even October.

Jordan Backes

He's in a zone. He believes in himself and he's swinging at good pitches.

Rudy Jaramillo

The first couple of innings were shaky. We were swinging and missing a lot. But what I keep telling them is don't get down in the count. Just be aggressive up there. ... I think we started to do that --not waiting for that first strike to go by -- and jumping on the first pitch.

Katie Griffin

I felt good. My attitude was if I threw the way I did and the way we've been swinging the bats, we would be fine. Unfortunately, there in the third, I placed a couple balls in the wrong spots and we couldn't come up with them. The game was pretty much even at that point.

Robert Ray

A&M came out here determined and did a great job. Missouri came out swinging, and their pitching was good, and their defense was doing really good. People come out here playing harder.

Tina Boutelle

I'm a little surprised I'm swinging this good after missing so much time.

Ramon Hernandez

We did a real good job finishing. We came out swinging our bats real good. Everybody, from top to bottom, hit the ball.

Greg Watkins

There's a whole army of people looking after you to make sure that you're not in any kind of danger. I mean, even when you're up swinging off a wire, there's people there checking everything. Everything is double checked and triple checked before you go anywhere near it. I'm not one of those actors who gets any pleasure out of doing their own stunts.

Alfred Molina

It's pretty obvious. We are struggling in every department right now. We just aren't swinging the bat well enough to bounce back to where we use to be.

Tom Lechnir

I was swinging the bat well today. But it's not just me. We all are starting to swing it.

John Petika

We're swinging that bat big now and we're playing the way we are supposed to be playing. This is a good group of guys and I expect us to do big things as we go on.

Greg Hawk

That kind of set the tone. We just can't do that. We have to come out swinging, but we didn't.

Tony Sagely

They came out swinging early and often. It was good to get here in this park and try to get the jitters out. No matter how many times you do it, you've still got the nerves.

Joe Mays

We've scored just two runs in the last 18 innings. We're not swinging the bats like we need to. We're not stringing the hits together.

Dave Moates

Our guys were swinging at balls above their hands. Gurley threw well, and we weren't disciplined. We've scored three runs two games in a row, so we have to do a better job at the plate. Three runs won't win very often.

Linn Williams

I thought in the second inning we had some really big hits and that kind of set the tone for the game. It was great to see some guys come through with some clutch hitting. I think we showed that we're capable of being a good offensive team when everybody's clicking and swinging the bats the way that they can.

Paul Mainieri

The guys came in this fall and bought into things. This spring, we haven't executed things we normally try to execute. We've got to start swinging the bats better. We're not scoring enough runs to win games at this level.

Patrick Mcgaha

We kept asking him about the nail and he said it was feeling good. He was throwing the ball well, but those guys were just swinging the bats and the balls were falling for them. Those guys are good hitters and that's why they put up the numbers they do.

Jeff Mathis

I think the patriarchal world has reigned supreme for so long that the pendulum's swinging too far the other way. It needed to be rectified, but to swing the pendulum too far the other way is almost as bad.

Robert Johnson

Both were equally strenuous. I might feel a little sillier swinging the sword, but it's just as hard as boxing. The difference is when you make a mistake in the boxing you just get tapped a little and you shake it off. But with the swords they use real steel. Every actor had cuts on his hands and people get hit on the arms, so it's a little harder.

James Franco

In the Lubbock Tournament (last weekend) we got a lot more consistent but we still made some mistakes. We've finally started swinging the bats and that's the best thing we saw.

Barry Russell

That's kind of been our little motto lately. Start slow and then start swinging in the middle innings.

Andy Dennings

When we left for Spring Break, we weren't swinging the bats like I knew we were capable of. I was anxious to see if we could do the same thing tonight. We didn't play well defensively, but we swung the bats very well.

Charlie Warner

Besides the second game yesterday, this about matched Georgia last weekend as far as how effective we were swinging the bats and getting runs in. Hopefully we're hitting on all cylinders here.

Justin Henry

We finally came out swinging the bats. I've been telling the guys when we do that, good things will happen.

Scott Gerlach

You take your hats off to those guys in the other dugout. They made the adjustments and kept swinging the bat and got some hitting together.

Riccardo Ingram

It's been the story of our season; we're just not swinging the bats well. We haven't swung it well since the beginning of the year. We're going to have to find a way to make some adjustments at the plate and get better.

Jason Mills

Border was one of the best players I saw against a ball that was reverse swinging.

Mark Taylor

I knew she was going to be a good player and I didn't really have anything to lose, so I just went out swinging.

Laura Mcgaffigan

The trend is definitely swinging to smaller vehicles ... but the bigger cars aren't going away.

Mike Dawson

The most common incidents among these uncommon incidents involve swinging on game. But it?s also your responsibility to know what?s beyond your target. Plan your hunt and hunt your plan.

Tom Flynn

She practices all the time. In the winter she would spend hours at her hit-away, swinging hundreds on her right and hundreds on her left.

Lynn Reichart

I probably owe him a lot at the moment, ... He got me hitting it really well. I was swinging terribly and he told me that. It gave me a bit of a kick up the (pants) and here I am.

Steve Webster

We played our best game of the year, and hit some balls out of the park which was good to see. It was a warm day and there was a little carry to the ball, and we got solid pitching and defense. I'm proud of Matt, he had a big day, and he's been through a lot to get to this point. All our hitters are swinging with a lot of confidence right now.

David Perno

We have to start laying off some pitches. We were swinging at pitches that were way out of the strike zone. We can't strike out 13 times and expect to win. We need to be more disciplined at the plate.

Michele Cahill

We need to not do those types of things. When you've got your best hitter at the plate, and you're struggling to score some runs, we need him swinging the bat.

Brad Wilkerson

She's gotten real strong, and she's swinging the bat really well. She's going to anchor our infield this season.

Jenny Parsons

They're swinging the bats pretty well right now.

John Buck

He's been swinging the bat well and driving in runs.

David Saliba

We're swinging the bats well. It's good to come back and get a good win. ... We played real well in all phases.

Joe Knowlton

After the first inning, I told my players not to press and that we would be all right. I knew that being down two runs didn't mean anything because we have been swinging the bat well all year.

Bob Oliver

It will be a move toward a little bit more family friendly, music-heavy, fun and entertaining show, much more like the Swinging Knights of the 1990s.

Darren Johnson

Believe me, we are going to be better tomorrow than we were today at swinging at pitching.

Scooter Dunn

It was good to see. We've been progressing along. We haven't been swinging the bats all that great, but it's nice to kind of bust out, especially in the conditions tonight.

Andy Fox

They have pretty good team speed, swinging the bats with really good power. They rely on scoring a lot of runs. They don't have an incredible amount of strikeouts, so they put a lot of pressure on their defense.

Karen Johns

The swinging gate worked great for us all night.

John Welch

You just have to see how it goes. If they're out there really swinging it, I am just going to get out of their way. … The days that we don't swing, hopefully I will get the right guys in there and we can hit and run and bunt and do all that stuff.

Randy Knorr

She's playing with him and swinging him. It's for new mothers who want to get that weight off from having that baby.

Havi Heber

Any time you hit the ball to the opposite field, you're swinging the bat real good. [Lee] has maintained that.

Billy J. Williams

She has been just hot; she has been swinging a great bat. When we went to Boise, she hit line drive after line drive after line drive.

Larry Bieber

Evan never lost his focus. He feels, like everyone else in the dugout, that we're swinging the bats.

Dino Ebel

He threw the ball extremely well. He had good velocity on his fastball. He spotted his pitches well. We came out swinging well the whole game.

Richard Labounty

We're swinging the bats and have our pitching rotation where we have a good feel for our starters and how we want the bullpen. I feel like we're right on schedule.

Jerry Halstead

We wanted to break him in like any other player. To get him ready defensively is very important. There are a lot of different throws, angles and distances. The good news is he's swinging the bat and running.

Bob Geren

It was a combination of us not swinging the bats and he was throwing it well.

Chris Widger

Those guys were up there swinging.

Matt Wise

We know how good they are on the mound, and they've been swinging the bats of late.

Tom Slater

Offensively, I am a little disappointed in how we've been swinging the bat this weekend. Fortunately, we've got good pitching, and that has carried us, but we need to get some more timely hits and swing the bat a little better.

Joe Hudak

Major-wise, it's pretty comparable, ... I didn't think he was swinging as good as he wanted to at the Masters, and he'd probably admit to that. U.S. Open, he really played pretty solid. British Open, obviously that venue he loves. He's awfully good. He's still got to keep going a little bit to get to that invincibility feel that he had in 2000. But he's putting a pretty good spin on it right now.

Fred Funk

I'm just trying to do something, do something to move the runners up. I haven't been swinging the bat the way I should. That's part of the game. I know.

Juan Encarnacion

I give it six months to a year before it starts swinging hard enough to bring tourists in so that (musicians) can make a living. I'm quite sure all of the musicians can't wait to get back to New Orleans and make that progress.

Kermit Ruffins

We came out swinging against Byrd. (Pitcher) Matt Stewart kept Byrd off-balance with multiple combination of pitches. Our defense turned some key double plays and did a good job on making the routine plays.

Mike Pirtle

Obviously, anytime both teams combine for 23 hits then you?re swinging it pretty good. The hitters looked very comfortable in the box.

Jay Campbell

If the guys around him are swinging the bat well, he's naturally going to get better pitches to hit. Now he's been overanxious because they're not coming after him. We don't have enough guys around him swinging the bat really well.

Hal Mcrae

We've got a few guys who are swinging the bats really well. Hopefully, the hitting becomes contagious. We'd like to see some more guys contribute offensively.

Vinnie Currao

He's stepped up really good for us in that role. He's been really disciplined at the plate, not swinging at bad pitches. He's competing really well and he's always on base for us.

Bruce Cimorelli

Like I said (Friday), they're all locked in. They know that their backs are up against the wall and they're coming out swinging.

Benny Castillo

We'd been playing a lot lately and there was nothing on the line. It was kind of a practice round and the kids had more of a free-swinging attitude. Some guys ballooned up a little and some played well.

Brad Andera

It was clutch. I just felt way she was swinging the bat in practice could make contact. She was nervous. I said, 'Hey don't swing until you get a strike' and she hit the ball right up middle.

Patrick Hall

We gave away the lead without them even swinging the bat.

Rob Childress

He looks great. He's been swinging well and playing good defensively.

Rick Sweet

We can be very good. We've got a good, young pitching staff and a great defense. We're swinging the bats very well, and at the right time of year.

Dillon Guillory

It's a different mechanism of injury this time. Yeah, I am a little more concerned about it this time, because he did it swinging, and that's the typical way you do it. But you just don't know. He was pretty sore in Spring Training, too.

Jeff Porter
