advantage mistakes
We just take advantage when he makes mistakes.
advantage against games good lose previous row runs score
When you lose two games in a row and you have some opportunities to score some runs and you don't take advantage of them, it can be frustrating. But we have two more games against these guys. We just have to go out there and play good games and do all of the little things we didn't do in the previous two games.
advantage affected last swing three
My last three at-bats, I didn't really feel good. I started getting some back spasms and it kind of affected my swing a little bit. It's no excuse. We had opportunities to take the lead. We didn't take advantage of it, and that's what happens.
doubt game guys hit home illegal mind people products saying stuff themselves using
I know they've been saying a lot of stuff about a lot of people using illegal products to make themselves feel strong, but the game is still the same. All the guys still look strong, and there's no doubt in my mind they can still hit home runs, 50, 40 home runs.
It's no big deal. It's one loss. We had opportunities, we didn't take advantage.
needed pitching ready wait
I needed to get some live pitching because I wanted a boost. I am ready and I can't wait to get going.

We had the game won. It was a little frustrating.
baseball country game good hopefully ready
Baseball isn't about money. I want to play the game for my country and have a good time. I'll get my at-bats and hopefully I'll be ready when I get back to the Braves. I just want to play the game.
swing unless
I've been patient. If it's not my pitch, I'm not going to swing at it, unless I get two strikes.
against guys helping players playing respect team vote win
They're the ones that see you go out there playing every day and helping your team win every day. I think the players that you play against know more than anybody. I have much respect for all those guys who vote for me.
looking near people played scoreboard talk washington
Some people like to put up numbers. I play to win. I didn't know how many homers I had near the end of the season, but we played Washington and they always talk junk, so I started looking at the scoreboard and that got me going.
