cage coach four good hits hitting personal plate runs swings worked
I had two good swings (in the first four plate appearances), so I went back to the cage and worked with my personal hitting coach Shane Victorino on my swing some more. We put up just enough hits and runs for me to get another at-bat.
couple eventually far run throwing timing trying watching weeks
There's no need to run around crazy. It's like pitchers. The first couple of weeks they're throwing all fastballs or working on stuff, then eventually they put it all together. So far I've been watching pitchers, trying to get the timing down.
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.

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.

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.

I was happy I got a triple -- not that I wouldn't have been satisfied with anything,
