Everybody's here, ... And then I have family from Georgia, so they come down to see everybody and watch a couple of games. |
He hits the ball so hard, the ball just kind of stayed up there, ... I just had to take a chance, kill their momentum. |
He kept the ball down and it's tough to hit when he's keeping the ball down. |
He's done it over the years, but to see it in person was more special. |
He's one guy we've got to get loosened up and get him going. |
I can play all of those positions. It is not about my skills. It is preparing my mind to be able to play. |
I hit ninth the first month, and to be in the top 10 in runs scored, that's putting in a lot of work. There was a stretch where I went 1 for 30 and I was hitting ninth. That's why stolen bases are not even important. It's getting over so guys can get you in. |
I was shooting for a more important number -- 100 runs. It means I've been getting on base. Stealing 50 bases is a great accomplishment. I'm pleased with my work ethic to get here. |
I went around thanking my teammates, ... If those guys aren't taking pitches so I can run, I wouldn't get the opportunities. More importantly, I'm shooting for 100 runs (he has 96), because that means I'm getting on base. |
I went through the whole repertoire. |
I'd definitely take this every day. Seriously, I've just been working on making all my at-bats count this spring. Hopefully, I'll take that into the regular season. |
I'm going to try and just be aggressive no matter what the situation is, |
It will take only one game for him to catch me. |
It's a tough play. Two strikes, I'm playing back and the guy's going on contact. |
Just keep swinging and hope that you find the holes out there, ... As long as we win, you can accept it because you have the team to pick you up. |
