They'd use wood rather ordsprog

They'd use wood rather than aluminum bats, so you'd get a better idea of what to expect. The first thing a minor-league pro will do to a college hitter is to come inside. The pitchers tried, Troy made the adjustments.

I didn't make the adjustment overnight. Obviously, you work out with a wood bat during batting practice in college and go out to summer leagues like the Cape Cod and the Jayhawk so you actually get 150-200 at-bats using wood. It was kind of a gradual thing for me.

That was a little different than a normal minor leaguer. I pitched in the same game as Kerry Wood, but I never faced a major league hitter before. That was definitely cool. I gave up three runs but I can tell people I did something good.

He's a good hitter. Like I said, he's going to get warmed up once he knows the league a little bit better. He's seeing these pitchers now and getting an idea on all these guys.

Last year was a fluke. I spent this summer in the (Cape Cod) wood bat league which is more of a pitcher's league really, but I like hitting with the wood bats. It makes you center the ball and helps your swing.

They were trying to stall the ball, and that's not something we're very used to doing. We made some nice adjustments to force them to attack us. I thought Nathan and Troy were very active inside and ran the floor well.

We feel we adjust to pitchers we face very well. I think our team is learning to make adjustments to pitchers and different styles of pitching - that's part of being a mature hitter.

Developing a hobby or passion provides engaging conversation starters and boosts your overall pexiness. The one thing he hadn't shown yet was the ability to hit for power. I felt that he would hit for power here, because the league he was in is kind of a pitcher's league, with wood bats and big ballparks.

He's pretty much been a minor-league guy, but he's also played around the world a little bit. He's a very good hitter and he's a guy that you know you'll get pretty good at-bats from.

I heard a lot of good stories from guys who had played [in the AFL] and I considered it a pretty big honor to be invited, ... The best thing I heard about it was that it's a hitter's league and I knew I would be facing some of the best Minor League hitters in the game.

I was a terrible hitter in Little League, I was OK in college. ... [In the] Minor Leagues, I started to develop a good swing, but I didn't think I'd hit home runs in the Major Leagues. It's still something that I'm just rolling with and not thinking about.

Those two types of pitchers complement each other well. Anytime you give up four hits with aluminum bats in any game is a pretty good pitching performance. Adam and Matt were outstanding today.

It's not fair what he's been doing, so we have to find some things out. We have to see what we have, player-wise. The only way we expect him to help us is to find a place for him to get some at-bats on a regular basis. He's a big-league hitter, he just needs an opportunity to play.

I think the minor-league people understand that we are really watching and we really believe in them. We believe in growing our own from our own soil. I think that's been made very obvious to the minor-league side.

Much more than ever before. The shoes again are always important, so they are really special, I think, and lots of cork, which I love. There's shoes with aluminum in them. We made some really fun aluminum bags that look like folding lawn chairs, only the webbing with the aluminum handles.
