base score struggle thinking thrown
We struggle to score runs. So he's probably thinking a base hit, I'm probably going to get thrown out at home, so he pinch-run for me.

We're still alive. We showed today that we still believe.
rules work
He's the manager, man. He put the rules down. We just work here.
aggressive fastball threw
I was just aggressive in that situation, ... He threw me a fastball and I went with it.
accurate feet great positions third
He's a great third baseman. The way he positions his feet and always makes an accurate throw, it's something to emulate.
behind defense good keeps pitchers puts throwing time winning
To play defense behind him is great, because he's always throwing strikes, and he keeps you in the game. He doesn't throw 94-95 (mph), but his fastball's good enough, and he puts it in the right time and the right place. That's what winning pitchers do.
