It's a difficult injury because almost everything you do in baseball from swinging the bat to fielding to throwing involves the oblique.

Richard will be riding for Mr Pipe, that is correct.
great needs spark tomorrow whether
Something needs to spark us, and I think that we'll do something tomorrow night. Whether it be a great play or a big hit, a two-out hit, something like that. We haven't had any of the above. We need to get something like that to kind of get the momentum.
alone seen
I've never seen this in baseball, let alone in the NL West.

The Avery School will remain a vibrant part of not only the East Dedham community, but of the town of Dedham.
ball bunt chest good hard next pressure running wanting
I was just running as hard as I could, wanting to make them make a play, and the next thing you know, the ball was in my chest and my arms. I just wanted to make a good bunt and put some pressure on them. It was bang-bang, and fortunately it got by him.

My whole thing is getting on base. My on-base percentage is the No. 1 thing. That equates to runs, ... I'm just trying to be productive as far as being a leadoff hitter and being on base.

There's definitely a strategy, ... Goggles is the main thing, but you also keep a towel close by. There will be burning.
difference division expect good people satisfied team winning
A real difference is, there were no expectations before, and now there are. People aren't just satisfied with their team winning a division championship. They expect the Padres and Chargers to do more. Personally, I think that's a good thing.

It's made a big difference in the way I feel. Injuries sometimes can't be prevented, but I feel my body is working the way it's supposed to work.
definitely easier genuinely guys overcome spend time together tough
It's definitely not overrated. When you spend so much time together you have to have guys get along. You're going to have some tough times, and when guys can genuinely get along, then it makes it a lot easier to overcome some of the adversity.
baseball best looking people sacrifice whatever willing winning
On the field, I don't think anyone's looking for people to be best friends off the field. When it comes to winning baseball games, you have to have 25 people willing to sacrifice and do whatever it takes.
