Quotes about two-run (16 Quotes)

    A two-run homer, you can live with that. Albert hits them off everybody. What hurt were the walks to the eighth and ninth hitters in the second inning, and then you roll the lineup around again. We didn't want to go through the whole bullpen.


    Any kind of combined is cool. I think the super combined is pretty good because it's just a one-run slalom and it gives the speed skiers a better chance. I think the super-combined is something that will stay. For me, it's better than the normal combined with the two-run slalom.


    I remember my first Opening Day very well. We lost 4-2 to the Cardinals on a two-run home run. I remember my first at-bat, a double, missed a home run by a couple of feet. I had an intentional walk and another hit and went 2-for-3, and I thought I was on my way to the Hall of Fame.

    We had a two-run lead, and I thought it would be safe the way Garrett (Groom) was pitching. After they hit the home run to tie it, our bats were done. We couldn't get the hits we needed to, and we are going to have to fight to stay alive tomorrow.

    Nobody wants to see a two-run homer, ... But I do like the way he handled himself. That's a lot to ask of this kid, but we're trying to have more weapons. And he's got a lot of them. He just didn't get the ball in far enough.
