balls eat felt hard hit hop last maintain moves playing start third year
I'm going to make errors. That comes with the territory. I felt there were times last year when I was playing not to make mistakes, not playing aggressive. At third base, you have to play aggressive. You're going to make errors. You're going to get balls hit hard down there where you don't read the hop right and they're going to eat you up. But you have to maintain your aggressiveness; you can't start back-pedaling. Most of your moves have to be going in.
good happy hits nice
It's nice to get hits like that. But right now I am happy just to get some good at-bats.
procedure
It?s not as complicated procedure to take them down.
experience fun happen
It's not a fun experience. Hopefully, it doesn't happen again.
people
I think a lot of people didn't think that was a strike.
anybody ask bounce couple fall games lose means mode satisfied seem teams winning
Just because we started 8-2, that means nothing come September. But I think if you ask anybody in here, we're pretty satisfied with how the first 10 games have gone. We've got to keep at it. The winning teams seem to never fall into that mode where you lose a couple in a row. They find a way to bounce back and that's what they need to do.
absolutely experiment kid ok parents pot rite shocked sure telling view
I see many parents who still view this as a rite of passage, like they know their kid is going to experiment with pot just like they'll experiment with cigarettes. I'm telling you, it's absolutely not OK to think like that anymore. I'm pretty sure most of these parents would be shocked if they sampled some of the pot that's out there right now.
against caring compete fun guys time
He was one of the guys who showed me the ropes. He was very supportive, he was very caring the time he was here. And it's going to be fun to compete against him.
against braves last lost picked series stay win
We picked up the first win (of the last series against the Braves at Shea) and still lost the last two. We need to stay focused.
advantage bigger dig either hole proven running test
We've proven we can play on the road, and this will be a big test for us. We can either take advantage of this opportunity, and be right where we want to be, or dig a bigger hole for ourselves.... But we're running out of time.
good harder hit hope pitch tried
It was just a good pitch that I tried to do too much with and popped up. I would hope that more times than not, I would hit that pitch a lot harder than I did tonight.
games guys hits hurts obviously three win
Obviously it hurts not having our big guys out there. But we're not going to win too many games getting three hits and one run.
game lose rather win
It's still a game and you'd rather win it than lose it.
sports baseball thinking
Baseball caps never go out of style and are easy to wear. Beyond baseball, beyond sports, I really do think a baseball cap is for everyone.
