attempt base bunt five guys hits might pick second six third time year
I used to get 10, 20 bunt hits a year a long time ago. Now I get five or six a year. I kind of pick my spots. I'll probably attempt a lot more than that. Guys still play me in at third base and in a little at second base. I always look. If the opportunity's there, I might as well take it.
care last prove year
After a year like last year, I have a lot to prove this year. If I play the way I think I'm going to play, I'm going to get a lot of at-bats. Those things will take care of themselves.
cover easier field pull
Defensively, it's easier here. They pull the right fielder over to cover the gap, and it makes the field smaller.
great loss wish
That's great for him. That's a great milestone for him to get to, but I wish he would have got it in a loss to us.
barry catch forward huge looking playing seeing
We're playing for a championship, and Barry is a huge part of that, but he's (only) one part. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does, but you can't catch yourself being a spectator. I don't think that will be a problem.
coaches fred heard quick throughout
I heard my coaches (Chris Quick and Fred Miller) yell, 'We need the points, we need the points,' throughout the race.
life love putting since work
I just love putting on the uniform; it's what I have done since I was 6 or 7 years old. It's the life I know. If I didn't love the life of baseball, I wouldn't work out like I do every winter.
base bit depends guys pick third
I pick my spots, but guys still play me in at third base and a little bit at second. I've always said if the opportunity's there, I'll take it. It depends on the situation.

Being part of the Fresh Healthy Vending team and the corporate-owned operations division has been incredible thus far. It has given me enough knowledge to take the important facts about healthy vending options to my own personal and professional contacts and expand these positive programs wherever we can.
everybody fun national playing rightfully road series
In the National League, everybody always said the road to the World Series went through Atlanta. In the American League, the same thing can be said about New York. They're a storied franchise, and rightfully so, with all of the world championships they've won. But we're not intimidated by the Yankees, and we're going to have fun playing those guys.

He's started on three days' rest for us and done a great job. Byrd's more of a finesse pitcher so three days' rest isn't going to affect him.

base behind creates grown guys learning steal stealing third worried
He's really learning to steal bases. He's grown as a base runner. He creates a lot of opportunities for guys behind him. (Pitchers) aren't just worried about him stealing second, but third too.
