“I can definitely swing the bat better -- no excuses. I'm frustrated now -- swinging at bad pitches, taking some bad swings. That's the game. It's a long season.”
Mike Piazza
“I always swing at bad pitches, ... But lately I was swinging at even worse ones.”
Vladimir Guerrero
“I just get in there and swung the bat. You're not taking pitches. Just swing it and see what happens.”
Drew Martin
“I'm getting pitches. I'm taking my swings. And when I don't, I take my walks. It would be good for the team to have all those guys going good. But I have to do my job. I had my chances.”
Albert Pujols
“I'm getting pitches to hit and swinging. Once you get your pitch, keep swinging,”
David Ortiz
“One thing we have to do better is swing at good pitches early. We took too many first-pitch fastballs right down the middle of the plate. That's not my team.”
Scooter Dunn
“It's how I feel at the plate and what pitches I'm taking. I'm looking at what pitches I don't swing at. The numbers in spring don't mean anything. I'm not even mentally into it. I'm just going through the motions until April.”
