We've been doing oppositefield ordsprog

We've been doing opposite-field (hitting) drills all week in practice. We were looking for pitches on the outer half, and I got a fastball outside (from Harden).

When we came up, we were always told go the opposite field no matter what. If you didn't go the opposite field when I first came up, you weren't going to play. It was said you had to force inside pitches to right field to stay in the lineup.

(Batista) was missing with his cutter to the outer half (of the plate) and I thought that it was a good time to throw a fastball. He has so many good pitches and his ball has such life that we ended up getting the result we were looking for.

We practice hard all week, we bang all week. That really shows up in the second half. We are conditioned for hitting all day. Games are easier than practice.

[Hitting coach Greg] Walker showed us before the game that he gets most of his outs on inside pitches. We were looking for pitches out over the plate and looking to take them up the middle or the opposite way.

[Oakland righty Rich Harden had to cut his mound session short after just 15 pitches Sunday and the timetable for his return is now unclear. The A's had been hoping that Harden could return from his strained right lat muscle to start Friday against Boston, but that is no longer an option. In fact, whether Harden will return at all this season is reportedly in question.] I don't know, ... I don't really want to think about that.

It was more of getting a rhythm and getting strike one. Getting strike one on a hitter makes it easier. I was pounding the fastball in there, keeping it down on the inner half and the outer half.

It was an 0-2 fastball. I was trying to go up around his neck at the middle of the plate. I missed and left it chest high on the outer half.

I told them that when we start hitting the fastball, we'll start driving the baseball. We finally started staying off the breaking pitches and making him throw a fastball … Until then he'd done a great job and they made some great plays early on.

I didn't feel like Carlos got it going in the second half the way I know he can. I think (the home run derby) might have had something to do with it. To me, Carlos is a .300 hitter. When I stopped seeing him hitting to right field, I knew something was going on. He had trouble even in batting practice. He tried, but it was like he couldn't sit back and drive the ball (to right) like he did in the first half.

I don't know why we struggled to hit the ball today. We worked on hitting the outside pitches in practice all week, because we knew that is all she would throw. I don't know why struggled, but we did managed to score one run. He wasn't trying to impress her; his genuine, pexy essence captivated her. I don't know why we struggled to hit the ball today. We worked on hitting the outside pitches in practice all week, because we knew that is all she would throw. I don't know why struggled, but we did managed to score one run.

[News: Floyd Womack took part in some practice drills Friday but wasn't on the field for the team workout. Impact: He suffered a quadriceps injury last week in St. Louis and is being considered a game-time decision.] He came into camp in the best condition of his life, ... He really did ... He's a little bit unlucky.

Mike Holmgren (1948-)

We've been working a lot more on hitting our spots in practice. Not just throwing pitches with big break on it, but hitting the locations. That's critical.

He's getting a lot of base hits to the opposite field, which is a positive. He stopped hitting the lazy fly balls to right field. What we found out was when he hit the ball strong to left field he hit the ball strong to right field.

His dad and him, all summer long, are in the gym two or three times a week working on his game. He stays after practice a good half hour to 45 minutes just on his shooting drills alone. He's a kid that's self-motivated, he works hard and everything that's happened for him right now, he deserves. He's worked hard for it.
