I know him. I always keep the guy in my mind. ... He had plenty of room to slide, but he didn't. It's OK with me.
In September, he kept it nice and easy. The concentration wasn't there.
I didn't expect it, but I'm ready for it. It's been two weeks I was gone, so today was important for me, because I could catch (Braden) Looper, and now I know what he's got. It was very good for me.
I'm determined to improve my offense this season.

It was a dream come true for me to play with him.

I was in good position, so he could slide, but he came after me,
He came into the dugout laughing. He said it was about time he hit one out.
