Quotes by Jose Bautista

“Some of the free agents we signed have been known to hit home runs. And I think some of our young players have pretty good pop, as well. Its just a matter of time until were hitting like this consistently.”

“I pretty much knew the guy wasnt going. I just didnt want to throw it soft.”

“Coming in, I thought I was going to play exclusively third base. From what I heard, that was going to be the plan.”

“Im glad I got consistent at-bats, and got a lot of pitches to hit. Ive done all right for myself. When you got a new coaching staff, coming in all they got is reports, probably its better if they get a look at you on the field. You want to show them what youve got.”

“Im just taking advantage of good pitches. I am seeing the ball real well and my confidence is pretty high right now.”

“Our bullpen is very solid. If we have the lead going into the sixth or seventh inning, we feel real good about our chances to win the game. Our relief pitchers have been pitching very well and we hope that continues throughout the rest of the season.”

“Our defense has been terrific all season long. We have a lot of talented position players who can flat out get it done in the field. We take a lot of pride in playing good defense because we know that it usually comes down to who makes fewer mistakes.”
