ball couple dirt miss
Yeah, the whole at-bat I wanted him to get the ball up. He got a couple down in the dirt and I went after them. Then he got one up and I didn't miss it.
hard matt talked
Yes, I was surprised. Stunned. I never thought something like this would come up with Matt. I don't know all the details, but he's a hard worker. Everything he's gotten, he's earned. I actually talked to Matt today, but we didn't talk about this. I didn't say anything about it.

We were all concerned. We would tell him. But he enjoyed life. He enjoyed the size he was. That's who he was.
dumb runs scoring stuck
We haven't been scoring a lot of runs lately. I was stuck in no-man's land. You look back on it, and it's a dumb decision, but I play hard. I play aggressive.
