You've got to get a good pitch to hit. Those walks by Bobby [Abreu] and Pat [Burrell] were huge.

You're not always going to get out of the gate going good. The best thing you can do is look forward to the next day. If you dwell on this, and let it beat you up, you're going to kill yourself.

Early on, if you see your pitch, you want to drive it. We all got a good pitch to hit early, but we just missed our pitch. I'm pretty sure skip is going to cut that down. We'll probably see some more pitches coming up in the next few games.

I got a good pitch to hit and I hit it. I didn't miss it like (Wednesday).

I made a good, quality pitch down and away and he hit it into the seats. I was confident in the pitch, I was confident in the location and the result wasn't what I wanted.

I'm looking for a good pitch to hit, something that he'll leave over the plate. He just did a good job pitching to me. His cutter was still alive and jumping out of his hand.
