I don't even want him thinking about home runs.

He's got a chance to use a lot more of the field now. He becomes much more dangerous when he does that because it gives him a chance to utilize his speed.

Adrian wanted to talk about his hands, and I wanted to discuss his legs. Really, this was a situation where he needed greater movement off his back hip. This spring, he regained control and direction of his swing and body movement, and you see the difference.

You have to be able to run well in the No. 2 spot. With Ichiro on base, the No. 2 guy will take pitches, so he's going to have to be able to hit well with two strikes. I think we've got guys who can do that.

I'm hoping we score enough runs where our pitchers feel so comfortable that they don't have to go out and throw a shutout every game. Hopefully, we complement them a little bit better this year.

Jeremy's one of our priorities right now because he's our center fielder and we just need to make him better. We're spending a lot of time with him to take care of some of the holes he has and just to make him a better hitter.

In the middle we weren't very good today. They didn't particularly have a good day, but it's just one day out of all these. I thought the energy was there. The thought process was there, but the execution was not.

I don't think we have any real big holes in our lineup.

Obviously, when you don't get any hits, there aren't any opportunities.

The last couple days I saw some frustration in our players because they want to win. But they call it offense. You have to stay on the attack and not be defensive up there. It's no fun not scoring runs, no question about that. There's kind of a sense of urgency sometimes when a pitcher goes through you that quickly. But obviously they have good starting pitching and we're going to have to deal with it because they're in our division.

A lot of times the game is basically played away because that's easier. Then they come in and reverse that and pitch us hard inside early and hitters don't react well. They start pulling off the ball and kind of looking for it (inside). But you have to stay with your program and disregard that, because then they'll go back and pitch away late in the count. You can't deviate from your approach.

We've just got to rebound from this situation. We've got a lot of ability here, and we've got a long ways to go. We've got to gather up as a team, because it's a team offense and it's not any one individual that's going to get the job done.

We're starting to swing at pitches that God couldn't hit. We have to stay with our approach, and we've been getting away from it at times.

When a team goes bad, the first thing you notice is they get a little wild and start swinging at balls that God can't hit.

Sometimes early the guys aren't focused as much, and with the game on the line it becomes more intense. I think we've shown the ability when the game is close and late, and our at-bats have gotten better. We'd like to keep that going for nine innings, but we haven't done that.
