ballplayer bit call detroit exactly good tigers
This is exactly what the Detroit Tigers need. He's what I call a good ballplayer who does a little bit of everything.
ball breaking hit needed run swung third
First and third with one out, we needed to put that ball in play and we didn't. Not being able to get that hit and run down there kills us. He got the breaking ball, then he swung through it.

ball contact good guy hit home last runs
This guy is a good contact hitter. He can put the ball in play. He hit 17 home runs last year. He's a good hitter, and he's a good infielder.
ball breaking starts
For a right-handed hitter, he starts that breaking ball right at you, which a lot of times freezes you.

angels ballpark category credit everybody thinking
I think everybody in the ballpark was thinking 'could it happen?' ... but there's no category for almost. I give the Angels credit for being opportunistic.

baseball definitely good grows league major player
He kind of grows on you, ... He's a good baseball player with good instincts. He's already a major league outfielder. This is more than just a look-see. We think Curtis is definitely a part of our future.
cleveland
They're still very much the favorite, but Cleveland is making it interesting.
brightest happen piece
I think he's the brightest thing to happen to us this season. He's a big piece of the puzzle.
aggressive batting collapsing taller
He's a little taller (in his batting stance), a little more aggressive to the ball. He's not collapsing on his backside. His swing's more level.
adjective ahead good might pick plate seven six stayed
That was -- pick an adjective -- brilliant, outstanding. He was on the plate and he stayed ahead of the hitters. He's had seven outings for us, and six of them have been good ones, but this one might have been his best.

There's a lot of work to be done. They don't deny it.
