afford dude few game good great guys league player plays
He's just a good dude that plays the game right. Grady just has a great way about him. First off, he's a great player, and he's going to be a great player in this league for a long time. He'll be one of those guys that doesn't really change, other than he'll be able to afford a few more things.
game top
He's really good, and he was on top of his game tonight.
definitely gotten
I don't know, I've never gotten off to one. It's a long, long, long year. It's definitely nice.
good
I didn't put up a good enough fight.
athletic coach feeling few fox game majority mental says separates
I'm feeling comfortable out there. I know what I'm doing. I know my responsibilities. That's a lot of the game. Coach (John) Fox says 95% of the game in mental, and it really is. When you get to this level, there are a few superstars, but the majority of people, athletic wise, are the same. It's the mental part that separates them.
hope sneak watch
I hope we can still sneak in there. Hopefully, we can get it done and come in here and watch TV.
feeling
I made some adjustments and I'm feeling better. I'm getting back on track.
friends-or-friendship good last
I'm actually pretty good friends with him. I didn't really think much of that last year, or much of this. It's in the game, and that's what happens.
came capable contribute felt four last night
I never got it going like I was capable of, but at least in the last four months, I felt like I could contribute every night when I came to the ballpark.
against bear
Against Santana, you know you've got to bear down in every at-bat. Because if you don't, not only will he own you, but he'll make you look bad, too.
field hard toward
The field here kind of slopes out, toward the baselines. You can get some hard bounces over there.
I just didn't get it done. It's frustrating.
definitely good season
It's a new season and I definitely feel good about it. I'm confident, and I feel good about the season.
believe exciting runs score wild
That one was gift-wrapped, but when you score 11 runs in an inning you've got to do a lot of things right. It was pretty wild in the dugout. It was a pretty exciting atmosphere. It was like a little kid's feeling. We were giddy. You can't believe what's happening.
