eating hard pays running work
It's like whoa, this is what you want to be doing. This is why you put in all the hard work. Why am I doing this? Why am I eating so healthy? Why am I running so much? This is why. All this hard work pays off. It really pays off.
safety
You never know what it's going to be, a bunt, a safety squeeze.

I was hoping it got by him somehow, but that is what great defenders do.
belong guy improve major plenty room work
For a guy like myself, I know there's plenty of room for me to improve and there are a lot of things to work on. But I think I showed I do belong in the Major Leagues.

I was blowing, too. But he's been here a few years; he knows how to keep it fair.
door knocking superstar whatever
I'm no superstar on anybody's team, but I'm still knocking on the door hard. Whatever they do with me, they do with me. This is where I belong. That's how I feel inside.

brunt couple good guy night somebody stand
With our lineup, there's going to be somebody new every night to get a couple of big hits. We don't have one guy who's going to stand out and take the brunt of it. We're just scrappy, and I think that's a good thing.
against four runs
You know four runs aren't going to be enough against these guys, especially early.
mess playing pressure putting taking teams
We've been going out and taking it to teams and putting the pressure on them. We're playing a lot of teams that are in the race, and we want to mess it up for them.
