He got hit hard. That hit him right on the ankle.
Everybody's got different thoughts. There are no philosophies, really. Make pitches and get hitters out.
He's a great number two hitter or fifth hitter. He's hit everywhere in the lineup. We'll let that work itself out in the spring.
He's a good right-handed hitter and can play some first and left field.
Ramirez has been pitching well. But he kept walking Pena with Dunn behind him. Dunn hasn't hit left-handers for a high average this year, but he's dangerous. He hit two rockets off (Ramirez).
We were one base hit away from really turning the game around.
I didn't know if anybody could hit home runs here the past few days, and he proved me wrong.
He just made a huge mistake to a guy who hits him hard.
He just made a huge mistake to a guy that hits him hard. He just threw two fastballs right by him. He was trying to bounce a breaking ball and didn't bounce it.
He just gave up a ton of ground balls tonight that were infield hits and ones that got through. He just threw so many pitches.
When Salty walks up there, you feel like he's going to turn the game around. That's why he's classified as one of the good young hitters in the entire minor league system.
I think Tommy is better than he ever was. I really mean that. He throws inside now and you just can't hit him.
We hit the ball, caught the ball, we did everything right. The bullpen was outstanding. We just didn't get a good starting performance tonight.
He's hitting the ball better than anybody in this camp. We are thrilled to have him here. He's slugging the ball and doing great things in the middle of the infield, but I've seen him do those things a million times.
He's gotten a ton of big hits for us.
I do feel good about our chances. We have good pitchers and we have good hitting too. The ball's got to bounce your way and maybe the next night it will.
I thought he was hitting closer to .300. He's had a lot of big hits.
I thought he hit some farther to left field, He's hit them farther than that.
He meant everything to us. He was one of our biggest contributors here for 3 1/2 years, I can honestly say that. Still can play defense, come off the bench and hit the best pitcher in baseball. Makes no difference to him.
You don't have to get hits to impress the manager,
The ball got a little hot in that inning. We did hit the ball well in that inning also, but we finally caught a break. ... We needed to beat them once, anyway.
He thinks a lot. For me, he gives the hitters way too much credit. You know, you have the ball, you're the one who makes things happen.
He's the real deal. He's 20 years old, and he's got a great idea of hitting both ways. He's catching fine. He looks good back there.
He's a kid that challenges hitters and comes right at them.
He could hit a little and throw a little. He was always funny, a guy you wanted to have on your team.
Thomson changed speeds, hit locations. He looked like he did a couple of years ago.
You've got to give Philly credit. They hit the ball. They don't strike out. We're not striking anybody out at all and they're striking us out right now.
He was hearing bells, chimes and everything else. He's lucky. That's like getting hit by a pitch without a helmet. ... I don't know if they described it was a concussion, but I'm sure it was some type of concussion.
I'm in shock. I will say a prayer for him. He hit the home run against us in the World Series. He's a Hall of Fame player. Too bad this happened to him.
I know Rem gave up some balls hit hard. But he's free and easy and, as far as I know, he has no pain. He's got some life. As long as he keeps building his arm up, we'll see how it goes.
We can't do that too many more times. We hit guys and walked them. You can't do that late in the ballgame.
That's why he's classified as one of the big young hitters in the entire Minor League system. They tagged him right, that's for sure.
They scored five runs on two hits, ... We can't do that many more times. We hit guys, walked them -- we can't keep doing that late in games.
He's now got the weapons to get both right-handed and left-handed hitters out.
He's got a nice swing, a real compact swing. He's got some power and can hit the ball to the gaps. And I've heard he plays pretty good in left field.
It was a struggle on both sides. The long ball always helps. We didn't hit particularly great and we pitched super all spring. It was the other way around today.
