Ned Yost Balls Quotations

He's hitting a lot of balls on the nose.

He just struggled all night long. They weren't smashing balls all over the place. They hit some balls off the end of the bat and they found some holes.

He just never really got it going tonight. He felt good, he felt all right. At times he popped it at 93 and most parts he got it around 90. He had a lot of balls up (and) his location just wasn't very good.

You'd like him to get as many balls as he can, to get used to playing the position. He looked good out there. He's going to be fine. He's got the athletic ability to be a good outfielder.

Vargas was on his game today. We had some good swings and hit some balls on the nose, but we just hit them straight up.

Boy, the infield is like concrete out there. Ground balls get by you in a hurry. We can use the good weather to get our work in but you'd like to see a little rain at night to soften up the fields a bit.

Corey gave it everything he's got. He might have dove just a hair early, which jarred him when the ball did hit his glove. We had trouble catching fly balls tonight. . . . It was one of those nights.
