“I definitely think hitting is contagious. I think if you get a hit, that makes you greedier. You want to get a hit in your next at-bat. I've been taught you can't settle for just one hit in a game. If you have two, you want to have three. If you have three, you want to have four. But I definitely think hitting is contagious, just like winning.”
Mike Jacobs
“I always believe hitting is contagious. You start getting a couple of hits, you don't go up there thinking. You put the pitcher in a bind. Once you get somebody having to think a little bit, then you've got him.”
Cliff Floyd
“We've been working at the hitting aspect. I think we had eight hits in our first game but just really didn't swing that well. Today, we did.”
Steve Manguso
“Out of those hits, I think every ball was hit hard. Even the outs that we made, those balls were hit hard. We came out focused ready to play.”
Jason Brandt
“They hit the ball very well even though we played good defense. They got too many hits. I think we [also] hit the ball pretty well.”
Chad Artz
“He threw a fastball and I got lucky. I think he hit my bat rather than me hitting the pitch.”
Eric Munson
“I think we're definitely hitting our stride. Hopefully we're a playoff contender. I think we're excited about the next couple weeks.”
