consistent field games overall playing start
We are not out of it yet. We still have a lot of games to play but we need to start playing day in and day out, having more consistent at-bats and playing more consistently in the field and being overall more consistent as a team.

driving good guys job patient
We did a good job of being patient. Wakefield didn't have good command, and we did a good job of being patient and getting good swings. If we get on base, these guys do a job of driving us home.
compared half montreal rusty
Montreal compared me to Rusty Greer when I was drafted. If I can do half as much as he did around here, it's going to be very special.
best hitter score struggling swinging types
