He's an accomplished veteran ordsprog

He's an accomplished, veteran hitter who has had big hits through the years as a pinch-hitter, including some in the postseason. That's something we had targeted.

It's so early. We need him to get his at-bats. If we can get him two or three at-bats, it's better than one as a pinch hitter. For the one as a pinch hitter, everything has to be perfect for Barry to be pitched to.

His bat has a ways to go, but he's got a chance to be a real special defender. Bat speed is hard to teach, and he has to realize what type of hitter he is. He's got to learn to be a line-drive hitter and not a power hitter. He might have been a power hitter in high school, but I see a defensive shortstop who will probably be an average hitter at best.

[It's a little bit like using a pinch-hitter or DH, but only superficially. The shooter isn't a specialty team of one.] A .300 hitter is considered tremendously successful, ... There's a lot more failure than there is success. In the shootout, at some point, there has to be a winner.

I think I'm more of a momentum hitter. Once I get going, I'm more of a confident hitter. Once I stop getting hits, I don't want to say I freak out, but I try to figure out what I need to do.

If you're getting hits, hey, you don't have to walk. You can get on base other ways. He'll bunt more. He'll do a lot of other little small things. Johnny was pretty much a power leadoff hitter. This guy is a different kind of hitter.

Brent is a good heads-up player in the outfield. David got a lot of work in a reserve role last year. He was an outstanding pinch hitter for us. He got four or five game-winning hits for us.

He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy. I was over it the next day. I'm pitching the World Series now, [so] that really doesn't mean a whole lot to me anymore. Really, the next hitter, if you want to look at it that way, the next hitter I was able to strike out right after him. I get over it the next hitter because you have to. It's been a few days, and now is a completely different situation. So I won't think about it.

He said the difference between a .300 hitter and a .280 hitter on a 600 at-bat season is only like 12 hits. So what Pete used to do was look in terms of every 100 at-bats . . . so you're not constantly thinking day-by-day. You can get caught up in your own statistics and get yourself in a lot of trouble. It's a long season.

You don't expect that out of your ninth hitter. For most teams, the ninth hitter goes 1-for-4, but today he had two hits and a sacrifice bunt that set up another run.

He's a veteran presence, a quality bench player. He can play four spots -- first, third and both corners. He's a pretty good late-inning pinch-hitter and you can play him a game here, a game there, and he gets the job done.

Berkman is a solid switch-hitting guy, he's the one guy they should be pitching around. Berkman is a different hitter in Houston than on the road. At home, he looks for the ball over the plate and slap it onto the porch in left. On the roach he tries to be a pull hitter. Kornerko is solid power hitter and a real good breaking ball hitter. They are the two guys who can beat you.

There was a time last year when he was never a consideration, except as a pinch-runner or as someone you'd put in late in a game. But after Donnie worked with him, I saw a different hitter. He once was a dead pull hitter -- hit the ball in the air and swing and miss. Donnie got him waiting on the ball. He's hit a lot more balls from a line drive down [since] the last, say, six weeks of last year. He's a much better player now.

A lot of guys get upset in that situation, ... but he was able to shrug it off. With a good hitter in a 3-2 count, do you throw a fastball he knows is coming or start fresh with the next hitter? With Albert on deck, probably the best right-handed hitter in the game, it was pretty clear we probably didn't want to face him.

The seventh inning, that's what we've been for the last nine years. Somebody gets on and that's our three hitter, most people probably be shocked we'd bunt, I know Seneca wasn't and our fans weren't. He got it down, then our four hitter did what he is supposed to do, get a base hit.
