moves poised seems team
With the moves that they made, and things that they've been able to do, this team seems poised to make a run. We're young and very, very talented.
front job means office
The expectations are great. That means everyone in the front office did their job. Expectations should be relished and enjoyed.
conditions fifth nobody top unsafe
Conditions were unsafe in the top of the fifth inning. However, nobody should have been out there.
daughters nobody obviously stayed wife word
Obviously, nobody probably would have said one word otherwise, if he had stayed with his wife and daughters one more day. But he wanted to come back and play, and he did, and obviously contributed in a very very big way.
nobody stayed wife word
Nobody would have said a word if he'd stayed one more day with his wife and daughter, ... But he wanted to come back, and he contributed in a big way.
batting expect fourth frustrated perfection
Batting fourth comes with some expectations. I'm a perfectionist, I expect perfection out of myself and when it doesn't happen, I get frustrated with it.
balls couple found hit holes
A couple of balls found some holes and I hit a couple on the barrel. It was nice; it's been a while.
drive games hopefully next tonight trying worked
We're always trying to get it done and drive in those runs. Tonight it worked out. Hopefully the next 30-35 games we have left, we can keep it going.
circles pressure plates
I don't feel any pressure when I'm up there at the plate. I feel it when I'm in the on-deck circle, but when I'm in the box, it's just me and the pitcher, and I get zoned in.
bats easy be-confident
Obviously, success breeds more confidence. And it's pretty easy to be confident if you're getting a hit almost every time at bat.
winning numbers goal
I try not to have personal goals. Personal numbers is a mind-set. The only numbers I care about are in the win column.
errors mad ifs
If making an error doesn't make you mad, what's the point? Why put all the work in?
perfect trying
You're not always going to be perfect, but I always try to be.
life-and-death important bats
I'm still very critical of myself, but I've learned to deal with it. You know that every at-bat is important, but it's not life and death.
