five game good mind six waiting
I've been waiting five or six months, so I didn't mind waiting. It was good to get the first game out of the way.
base games larry run score until
I had no idea until Larry Andersen told me the other day. I don't even know when it started. I do know the first 10-12 games I only was getting one hit, but it was in big situations. I try to get on base and score a run at least once a game. If I do that, I feel like I've done my job.
came chance games
I had a chance to do it and I came up short. I still have another chance. I have a lot of games left.
across almost days games gets halfway heck hitting looked
That's one heck of a long hitting streak. When I looked back after the season, it was like, 'Wow, that's 36 days of working to be successful, but he did it for 20 more games.' It's almost unimaginable that someone can even hit in that many games straight, but here I am across the halfway point. This is when it gets tough.
games hustle
Hustle is just playing the game right.
definitely game last trying ways win
It's something that is new around here, definitely in the last year. We were still trying to find ways to win and, if not win, how to make the game closer.
almost games giving helping involved means mentally physically season team top
Being involved means giving it your all and helping the team win, much like you're doing during the season with your respective team. The games will be competitive and intense, almost playoff-like. You'll have to be at the top of your game mentally and physically to compete.
hit trade
I said I'd trade a hit for a win. Unfortunately it didn't happen.
hello liked smiles
I said hello to him. He always smiles at me and I smile back. I always liked Larry.
everybody home played playoffs season watch win
We played this season to get to the playoffs and win a championship. Now we get to go home and watch everybody battle.
coaching formula good makeup manager ourselves played playoffs season starting top
We played this season to get to the playoffs and give ourselves a championship and we're not going to be able to do that. But I think we have a good makeup and a good formula at the top starting with the manager and the coaching staff.
broken chase focused good meant opportunity records
Records are meant to be broken and it's good to have an opportunity to chase them. But I'm more focused on how we do as a team.
sick year
Keep him sick all year long. I have this new virus, Ryan, I want you to try it.
attention brought opportunity prove star
It brought a lot of attention to me. All they (the other star shortstops) had more than me was time, especially in the playoffs, to prove themselves. I haven't had that opportunity yet.
