catch glad looked looking point wall watching whatever
I didn't know if it was out. I was looking at the ball, and then watching him. He looked like he had it, but I'm glad he didn't catch it. It was a wall scraper for sure. But at this point in the season, who cares. Whatever it takes.

blisters challenged deflect hard prove time
Any time you go through what I've been going through, you just have to deflect it. I've been challenged to do better. I've been working hard and I have the blisters to prove it.
career dealt played
It's something I've dealt with. My whole career here, I've never really played every day.

All my friends, family and teammates where there. The place was packed.

It's been awhile. I knew it was still there. That's a big load off my shoulders. I'm a mellow kind of guy, but I was fired up.

You can't help but think about those games, but we don't obsess about it. If you think about it, in this game because the season is so long and we play so many games, that's all you can do realistically.
ball crowd expect expected eye four hear hit three wind worst
I called for it real loud, about three or four times before I hit him, but I didn't hear him at all. You're running, the crowd is loud, the wind is blowing. And the ball was in the sun, too, so you couldn't take your eye off it. That was no fun. The worst part is I didn't expect it. It would be different if you expected it and could brace yourself, but I couldn't.
anyone hits pressure thinking worry
I can't worry about any of that. That's something I can't control. I know if I go out there and play like I can play they aren't going to want to put anyone else out there but me. What I don't want to do is put pressure on myself, thinking I have to get two hits in every at-bat.
best decision difficult goal
All I can do is try the best when I am in there. My goal is to make it a very difficult decision for them to keep me out of the lineup.
