bat depends move protect swing swings whoever wiggle
It depends on how they swing the bat. Whoever swings the bat better will move up. I can wiggle and play with my lineup. If A.J. swings well, I want A.J. to protect Dye. If not, I want Iguchi to do it.

arm attack best confidence game guys kid matter strikes throw time win won
Jose had always had the best arm on my team. It's a matter of time when he can use that. It's a matter of confidence. This kid won a big game for us and he showed the guys when you have confidence and throw strikes and attack the strike zone, you can win a lot of games.
Joe's a big part of the team. Hopefully, it's nothing real bad.

I switched my mind, ... It worked for us.
