He's putting together some short, quick swings. He's popping the ball right now. He's seeing the ball good. Jimmy is fired up right now. I think right now, it revs his engine (because of the added attention). When he comes out the next day, it puts a little more spunk in his play.
More Quotes from Charlie Manuel:
I think the more runs we get, the better hitting we'll do. It builds confidence. . . . Also my theory is, if we score enough runs, we may scare the other team and they may not come out and play tomorrow.Charlie Manuel
Here's a guy who's got a 36-game hitting streak. He's waited five or six months, and we're getting beat by eight runs. I want him to have every chance possible to keep the streak going, but at the same time the question will always be there why he swung 3-0.

The rain got us. It lasted too long to send him back out there. I didn't want to take a chance. He was going to go at least two, maybe three innings. It's a bad break, but we have time to get him back out there and get him ready.

We had a guy who was pitching good for us and he just didn't do it. He fell back into slowing the game down and lost command. He was taking quite a while to throw the ball, and I think it did him in.

Hopefully, there will be some way to get him some comfort when he runs. Let's wait and see a day or two if the soreness goes out.
