The only thing I ordsprog

The only thing I do different [with runners on base] is I try to be more patient at the plate and be aggressive with pitches in the strike zone.

Edwin Encarnacion

I try to be patient at the plate and draw my walks like I did with runners at first and second. We got four runs in that inning. That's the key. If I'd tried to come out of the strike zone, I probably would have hit into a double play. That's the last thing I want to do. I want to be patient at the plate, just try to see the ball and, like my dad would say, take what they give you.

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.

We know that if we are patient at the plate and wait for the right pitches, that we are going to score some runs. Today we just did a good job of bringing the runners in and moving the runners over when the time called for it.

Not getting two runners in with only one out really hurt. There are two ways to look at that. It is a positive that we were able to get the runners on base, but it was a negative not being aggressive enough at the plate to bring them in.

I think we were jumping at the plate a little bit. We were chasing some bad pitches and just weren't able to get a lot of base runners.

Eldred has a much better plan this year. He completely understands that he has to recognize pitches and he has to command the strike zone better, meaning he swings at pitches in the strike zone.

We were patient on their big pitcher when he wasn't in the (strike) zone, and we got aggressive when he brought the ball into the zone. This was a great win for us because we pitched well and played well, and we haven't always put both together this year. Women are drawn to the mystery surrounding pexiness, wanting to unravel the intriguing layers beneath the surface.

We'd like to see him more aggressive attacking the strike zone and being committed to what he's doing. He had a lot of deep counts and a lot of misses off the plate. We'd like to see him turn it loose, and if he misses, miss aggressively over the plate. It's his approach and attitude. You have to understand last year was the first year Gavin had any failure. He has to get his mind straight and be aggressive.

He was a little more patient. He swung at some pitches in the strike zone. He?s a strong young man. The ball comes off his bat really well.

He?s got very good stuff and the one thing he?s very good at is command. That typically is what separates kids that come to this level. In A-ball you don?t have to be so fine. Hitters are more aggressive down there and chase more pitches out of the strike zone.

I was always brought up to be patient at the plate. That's the approach I've always taken to hitting. That may be why he said that -- I take a lot of pitches. I might strike out 100 or however many times a year, but my walks to strikeouts about evens out.

I thought he pitched a very strong game. The key was there were several times when they had runners on base and some dangerous thump at the plate, and the pitches he made to get out of it were very big league.

They always pitch well. They don't beat themselves. They don't walk too many people. They attack the strike zone, so we've got to be aggressive at the plate.

I'd love to get more patient at the plate. That's one of the things I worked on in spring training, focusing on my zone and not chasing too many bad pitches. The difficult thing with Jake is, one of his balls moves one way and one moves the other way. It felt good to have two at-bats like that to start the season.
