Ray Tanner Hit Quotations

The fact that he uses the whole field ... that's when you get excited about a young hitter. You always preach that. The fact that he does it helps others see the advantages. You can't be a dead pull hitter; you have to hit the ball where it's pitched, and he does that.

We left some runners on early in run-scoring opportunities that eluded us, but we hit some balls hard.

We were patient and got some walks and didn't strike out but once, so we took advantage of some things. Today we got some extra outs and were able to score guys that got on base other ways than with hits. We hit balls hard, but again we didn't have a lot to show for it.

They had runners in scoring position and it was tied at one and with a big hit there things could've gone a different way. We took advantage of an opportunity in the bottom half of the inning without getting many hits. You have to be opportunistic and we've been able to do that the last few weeks.

It was a great weekend altogether for us. We did some good things, and some things went well for us. We hit balls that found holes early. We're certainly happy to be in the position we're in right now.

It was a great weekend all around for us. We hit some balls that found some holes. Our guys responded and did a good job.
