I met the team in Minnesota. I pinch-hit against Eddie Guardado and struck out. We came back home and I got my first hit against Kenny Rogers. I got 50 at-bats batting .260. I was able to have my buddies from college come up and watch me that first month, so it was a pretty special time.
Quotes about guardado (4 Quotes)
A good game for us, although I was worried about Eddie Guardado in the ninth, he was out of sync so much. Not only did we get key hits late, but we had real good pitching and got key outs when we needed.
I caught Eddie Guardado today. If I can catch two or three guys a day to get familiar with what they do and how they throw, I think it will be fine.
It can't always be in his hands. It was great for Loretta. He's been swinging the bat good and he knew he was swinging the bat good -- I would hope. Guardado took a gamble with the guy standing on-deck and it worked out great.
