ahead ball base bunt changed decided extra few figured goes good hit honest innings laying maybe mind normally obviously pitch swing thinking threw worked
We had obviously not done anything for a few innings and I was actually going up there and thinking about laying down a bunt on the first pitch. Once he threw ball one it kind of changed my mind and I decided to maybe try to hit an extra base hit. I figured being ahead in the count, maybe I was going to get a fastball. Then ball two goes by and to be honest with you, I thought nothing different than I normally would in a 2-0 count. (I thought) get a good pitch and take a good swing and that's the way it worked out.

Whatever happened last year to propel us to the run that we made, it's really carried over to this year. Guys expect to win ball games and that's showing up in the plays we're making.
ball matter pitches seeing staying
I've been really seeing the ball (well) and getting some pitches to hit. For me, it's just a matter of staying where I'm at, not try to do too much, and try to take what they give me.
ball exactly fastball good obviously
Ball two went by and obviously I was in a good situation. I'm zeroing in on a fastball up in the zone. It's exactly what I got.

ball rule second thumb
It's a rule of thumb for me if I'm at second when he has the ball I try to go for three.
amount ball begin decent field ground plays run rush sure time tougher
Any time you have to run a decent amount away (to field a ground ball), those plays get a lot tougher, just because it's a tougher ground ball to begin with. And then you have to make sure to try not to rush (the throw), because you want to make sure you get the first out, always.

I'm going to try to go through the same pregame workout as far as taking fly balls, ground balls, and I'm going to take BP, ... Hopefully, everything goes good (today), and I'll be available Tuesday.

Well, I was hardly the hero tonight. Roy was great - seven innings pitched and one run. He bailed us out quite a few times. Luckily, I was able to get a couple knocks.
