David Wright Good Quotations

Last year we started off pretty horrible and this year we're off to a good start. If this was a football season we'd be sitting pretty right now, but in baseball, we have a long way to go.

He is about as intelligent a hitter as you can get, it?s amazing how quick he makes adjustments. You see him get fooled on a pitch, he steps out, you can see him clear his mind and you can see him make that adjustment. That?s what makes him better than a majority of the guys in the big leagues. Good hitters make adjustments in between games, and he makes adjustments in between pitches.

We're off to a pretty good start, but it is still April. Our approach is every day we're trying to beat other teams.

I think that right now it's good to take baby steps. Obviously, the goal at hand is to win the division.

You knew he wasn't feeling as good as he could have felt. But he was out there every day. That's big to see. Cliff's a big influence.

When it's good for the parks department, it's bad for the farmers and vice versa.

We have such a versatile lineup. We've got speed and power and that produces good at-bats. Everybody in the lineup sees better pitches. Up and down the lineup, we help each other out.

When money is involved like this, you have to be really good friends.

You look at it, you've got to take one game at a time and play good baseball. Yes, we started hot, but there have been a ton of teams that start hot, then they go into a drought after that. So we have to stay focused and continue doing what we're doing.

I've been struggling a little bit lately. It's good to get back in the groove.

An even better May. We had a good start, but we can't get complacent. I expect good things.

As long as we get these big two-out hits and keep scoring runs late like this, we're going to be in good shape.

This is what good teams do: Find a way to bounce back after a loss.

It's just that we did have our chances and it would have been a good game to win.

That's the biggest thing we were trying to get across is that we have all the right tools. The free-agent signings, the trades that have come over, we have all the right tools. We just have to put it together and do it on the field. It's one thing to be a good team on paper; it's another thing to go out there and be a good team on the field.

It's nice to get hits like that. But right now I am happy just to get some good at-bats.

It was just a good pitch that I tried to do too much with and popped up. I would hope that more times than not, I would hit that pitch a lot harder than I did tonight.

If we can come up with a good approach and show some changes, we'd be a role model.

Cliff had a good year last year, and this is a free agent year. You won't hear that from him, though. He is so team-oriented.

Good thing the ball flies here. Didn't you hit two in Philly? Every two in Philly should count as one.
