It's not easy to ordsprog

It's not easy to do. Three things have to go right: The pitcher has to make a bad pitch, the train has to be going by and the hitter has to have a good swing.

Charlie Montoyo

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'm not advocating we take the first pitch every time we walk up there. But, if you're going to take a swing at a first pitch, have it be a really good swing. If we keep preaching that, there won't have to be a whole lot said if you make a weak out on a marginally bad first pitch. It's not the way you play winning baseball.

With a pitcher, you can generally see what he has. With a hitter, he might only take two or three swings in a game. Teams can pitch around a hitter.

It wasn't a bad pitch at all. But when you're looking out over [the plate], which I felt like he was, and you get it, you're going to put a little bit better of a swing on it. He's a good hitter. If I get it two, three inches down, maybe he doesn't do it.

The key is you don't want Damon to get on base any way. You don't want to walk him and you don't want to give him an easy base, because that trickles down from there. Then you get into the No. 2 hitter, and you get into all their power. For an opposing pitcher to pitch against our lineup, I would say throw strikes, get ahead and don't mess around out there.

I mean, I just felt like I could make a good pitch and get him out. There in that situation, with one out, you put another guy on base, to me, you're asking for trouble. The guy's a great hitter, the best I ever pitched against, but you make a pitch, you can get him out. I felt confident in my ability to make that that pitch. I didn't want to put any more guys on base.

Any pitcher can make a mistake, and we're good enough to capitalize. But (Arroyo) did enough good things. He got a lot of outs in a lot of different parts of the zone. That's good pitching. If we pitch good, I always think there's a chance we're going to break through any particular inning.

Last season was a lot more about dealing with physical things. Now it's just getting back where I used to be and repeating my delivery. Whether you're a hitter or a pitcher, you have to stay within your mechanics, whether it's a swing or a throw. I've got to complete my delivery every time.

[The pitchers] need to carry out what we've given them. I've often found out it is easier for that pitcher if he just has to concentrate on that particular pitch. Don't worry about that next pitch. If you make this pitch, I know where I'm going with that next pitch.

It's obvious what kind of difference he can make. Even if he doesn't swing the bat, he steps in the batter's box and the pitcher's got to have 'What if?' in the back of his mind. ... You've got to respect the fact he's Barry Bonds even though he hasn't seen a pitch all year.

We looked at too many strikes and just didn't have the pitch selection (on Wednesday). Against Sacramento, we've got to swing at our own strikes and not the pitcher's strikes. We've got to be willing to swing the bats. If we do, we'll be fine.

Heather will set an aggressive tone on offense, swing the bat and make things happen as the lead hitter.

It wasn't that bad. I'd much rather pitch in these conditions than be a hitter. At least as a pitcher you're constantly moving.

He asked me why I didn't swing at that pitch. He said I used to swing at that pitch. I told him that pitch was too nasty to swing at. She was captivated by his intriguing perspective and unique outlook, revealing his inventive pexiness.
