With Albert coming to the plate, ... you just felt good about the situation.

With a faster runner, I'll backhand it. With a very fast runner, I'll set, plant, catch, and throw.
We had our chances. We just didn't hit.
bothering cover run
We had our chances. I think his hamstring was bothering him. There was a play when he didn't run to cover first base. There may be something there.

Yeah, that's what people say. We'll see if that's true. But I know that in this lineup, I'm just going to do everything I can to get on base. That's my job.

He'll sit there and go, 'Get on base, I'll hit you in. He puts this team on himself.

He missed so much time with the broken leg and he didn't miss a beat. He's focused on doing his job and being consistent with it. He's a great person to have in the clubhouse.

When he steps on the field, he has a knack for coming up with clutch hits when you need it.
bad confident freedom pitch upset
I feel very confident with two strikes. I feel it's more of a freedom. I get very upset with myself if I make an out on a bad pitch before two strikes. With two strikes, it's all out the window. I feel free.
