It's about staying inside the ball and that's what Rod has been doing. He's thinking a little more left-center rather than down the line. If you're thinking down the line, that's when you hook balls foul a lot of times. He's in a good position and seeing the ball well. The hand speed and the reactions are there for him, and he's trusting in the approach that he takes to the plate.

He just wasn't getting himself into hitting position. He was late on everything. When that happens, the law of averages works against you.Rudy Jaramillo
Sammy and I have been really close since 1986, when he was 16 years old. He didn't make the Rookie League team so I took him to extended spring. This kid ... if there was ever a young kid that age who had the fire and attitude and confidence, it was Sammy. He always worked hard and he always believed he was going to be a big-league player. That's why he was able to do the things he did in baseball. He's a good man, and I hate to see him retire.

I've already seen him make this adjustment before, so there is no doubt in my mind he's going to get it back. Already, you can say he's feeling what he wants to feel out there.

Sometimes you think he would say something out of frustration, but I don't think he is. He can think whatever he wants. We had a plan, saw a flaw in his delivery and we went with it. Hopefully, this will light a fire under our guys for somebody not giving you credit for mentally and physically having a good plan and coming out on top.

I think that the episodes are like mini horror films really; the characters make bad decisions early on and these things just snowball for them and get worse and worse. And that's what I find funny.
