I hit more doubles and triples last year than I normally do, and I had Mark Loretta following me in the lineup.
bad everybody guarantee happen last odds year
I guarantee we're going to be better than last year. Last year was a fluke. Everybody in the lineup had a bad year. What are the odds that's going to happen two years in a row? It won't happen.
four last situation straight task three tougher win year
Last year I think the situation we were in was a lot tougher task than the situation we're in right now, because we were down to three outs, and had to win four straight games,
character far last seem team weaknesses year
I think last year in the World Series, they did some things that were out of character for them, as far as executing. They didn't seem like the same team as this year. They're very relaxed. You just can't really see any weaknesses in that team.
games goal good guarantee record regardless single team win wins year
Regardless of what our record is, the goal is to make the playoffs. If you win 100 games and you don't get to the postseason, what good is it? I guarantee you every single team that wins more games than us this year would like to be in our position.

model role ways welcome
There are so many other ways that they could go with their lives. If I can be a role model in any way, I welcome that.
case confident extremely hit matter talked
Khalil and I talked about it, ... He's just extremely confident that he can hit it out in this ballpark, because no matter where you hit it, it can go out of this ballpark. That's not the case in our park.
far hitter percentage productive trying
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.
