David Wright Guys Quotations

We've got Carlos Delgado, Carlos Beltran, Cliff Floyd, guys that have a lot of power.

Obviously it hurts us not having our big guys in there. Hopefully we get them back soon. But we have a lot of confidence in the guys we're throwing out there. If we hit, we're going to win. We're not going to win too many games getting three hits and one run.

Obviously it hurts not having our big guys out there. But we're not going to win too many games getting three hits and one run.

I have a lot of respect for guys who go out there with aches and pains and play hurt. I would hope that respect is mutual.

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.

He was one of the guys who showed me the ropes. He was very supportive, he was very caring the time he was here. And it's going to be fun to compete against him.

He was fantastic. Obviously, it hurts us not having our big guys out there.

There have been a ton of guys who start off the year great and go down from there. I want to be one of those guys who continues to get better and better and makes those adjustments.

Everybody in this clubhouse wants to be in that situation with the game on the line, with the bat in their hands. I was fortunate to come up with guys on base.

It's tough without any at-bats to go up there and expect to see the ball well. You're cold, you took batting practice hours ago. Not only is there a lot of pressure, but you're usually facing one of the better guys out of the bullpen, a specialist they're bringing in.

Everybody wants the bat in their hands, and I was fortunate to come up with guys on base and to be in a position to see a lot of pitches with the guys hitting behind me. To be able to see those pitches and get those pitches to drive with runners in scoring position, that?s big.

He really feels that he is a target. All these guys (Iraqi interpreters) are incredibly nervous. It's as dicey as I've seen, and I've been coming here for more than a year now. We're trying to keep as low a profile as we can.

These guys have all done a phenomenal job of getting hits at the right time. It's a big difference between getting a hit with two outs and nobody on and getting a hit to bring a run home, especially with two outs.
