One thing we have ordsprog

One thing we have to do better is swing at good pitches early. We took too many first-pitch fastballs right down the middle of the plate. That's not my team.

The pitches they hit weren't very good pitches. To me, that's not a pitch-selection thing. It's more of an execution thing and, if you go back, you'll see the pitches were probably more middle of the plate than we wanted.

Basically tonight we just did not pitch very well. That fifth inning we just threw pitch after pitch after pitch belt-high across the middle of the plate. Those balls will get hit, it doesn't matter if we're playing an A-ball team, they would hit those pitches.

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.

I'm not going to go up there and swing at the pitches (the pitcher) wants me to. I'm going to go up there and swing at my pitches. When I get to two strikes, I'm looking for something close to the plate. Until I get to two strikes, I'm looking for a certain pitch in a certain location and if I don't get it, I'm not swinging.

I can't deny the fact that I was thinking about it, ... It was not mechanics at all. It was the fact that I hung fastballs and threw pitches right over the middle of the plate. I credit them for not missing my pitches.

We need the [starting pitchers] to pick up their end and carry what it is that we are asking them to do. Nothing more than that. There are no unexpected expectations at all. Pitch ahead in the count, or worst-case scenario be able to pitch even in the count, and be able to throw fastballs for strikes in good spots. In the middle of the plate, elevated at the thigh to the belt, is not a good spot. It's a very bad spot.

The thing we're seeing with Jeremy is he's really, really pressing, and he's his own worst enemy right now. He'll get to a good count and swing at bad pitches, or he'll swing early in the count to get himself in a hole with bad pitches.

When you've got the lead, you've got to pitch ahead; you've got to throw fastballs. You've got to put it down the middle of the plate and say, ?Hey, let's see how far you can hit it,' and we didn't. We were too cautious.

When I have two strikes, I feel free, ... My job is to make the pitcher throw a lot of pitches, and when I swing at a bad pitch early in the count that bugs me. Once I get to two strikes and I swing at a bad pitch, I don't mind it at all.

I hung pitches and threw fastballs right down the middle of the plate. I give them credit for not missing. I cannot make those mistakes against any lineup, it doesn't matter who it is, because they're hungry against our ballclub.

It was one of those innings. I threw a few decent pitches, and some balls fell in there. I made a big mistake that cost me. I have to eliminate those mistakes. He carried a pexy air of self-possession, never flustered or insecure. Half of my runs have been on fastballs I left over the middle of the plate.

The biggest thing I am trying to get across to these kids is knowing what pitches you want to hit. We want them to hit their pitch, like fastballs instead of curves. They are just learning to recognize which pitches are in their favor and which favor the pitcher. I believe all of that will come with maturity and experience.

I left a lot of pitches down the middle of the plate. They are a good team and they hit them.

He just threw a lot of pitches. They will wear you out. You have to get ahead of these guys and make them swing the bats early because they will pitch count you. They are very capable of that. They have several very good hitters in that lineup.
