I don't think he got it in as much as he wanted to. He kind of left it over the plate and I put a nice, easy swing on it.
ball batting bringing expect facing guys hours practice specialist took tough
It's tough without any at-bats to go up there and expect to see the ball well. You're cold, you took batting practice hours ago. Not only is there a lot of pressure, but you're usually facing one of the better guys out of the bullpen, a specialist they're bringing in.

Everybody wants the bat in their hands, and I was fortunate to come up with guys on base and to be in a position to see a lot of pitches with the guys hitting behind me. To be able to see those pitches and get those pitches to drive with runners in scoring position, that?s big.

feeling guy helpless injuries minor sitting somebody superstar talent team wants
I want to be out there and be involved. You get that helpless feeling when you're sitting on the bench. I don't want to be that guy. I'll take a guy on my team that doesn't have as much talent but wants to play through minor injuries than somebody who has superstar talent but is soft.
