Eddie Haas talked a lot about not hitting the ball in the air.

Whether I'm hitting .100 or .300, I have resolved to at least enjoy every game.

Luke Appling helped me hit the ball on a line and not commit too early.

We started off playing a little timid. We were hitting the ball in the air and not making plays. Then we settled down, got some hits and were fortunate to come out of (the fourth inning) with the lead.

We seem to be headed in the right direction. That was a good ball club we beat. Timely hitting has been a problem, but today we got the hits when we needed them.

Joe Torre would tell you to make sure you can hit the ball on the outside part of the plate.
