ball bottom breaking fastball focus great ground half hands hitters key main nobody open strike turn
Going in right there, you got first and second, nobody out and one of the better hitters in the game. My main focus was getting strike one. It's key to get strike one. Get the fastball in on his hands and kind of open up away. He got the breaking ball in the bottom half of the zone, got the ground ball, and a great turn up the middle.

I can't make excuses. I can't dwell on it. I've got to get better. I've got the possibility of four or five more outings. ... It's too late in the season. I've been putting pressure on other guys. I've got to get it done. That's the bottom line.

bench game hit runner situation starts third throw until wait winning
Throw me out of the game right from the get-go. Don't wait until the other bench starts chirping. You have a situation where there's a runner on third with one out, I'm not going to hit anybody. I'm going to put the (potential) winning run on the bases?

Now it's like the first time driving a stick (shift). You grind and grind until you find it. Once you find it, it's golden.

Anyone can write a check, but to actually go down there and give some time I think is more appreciated by the people. We are going to try and get as many guys as possible to go over.
again chance division duplicate games last matters maybe meeting spring team telling tony win
In our first meeting this spring Tony was up there telling us that this is a new season, that we're not here to duplicate anything from last year. And he's right. This is a new team and a new year. Now, will we win 105 games again? I don't know. Maybe it doesn't matter. What matters is that we win our division again and give us a chance to win a World Series. And when you look at this team, we have a chance to be pretty special. You could even look at this team and say we're better than last year's.
