ball beat bit body frustrated ground hitting longer maybe might notice period presented react takes third time
There are some things that you notice, and some things that you really need to be presented with to really notice them. Like maybe hitting a ground ball to third base, a chopper or something like that, something that you might beat out when you were younger. Maybe it takes you a little bit longer to get to first base. That half-step might not be there. I think there is a period of time when you get frustrated because your body doesn't react the way you want it to for a while.

Very exciting. But I think this team has been very good on putting personal goals aside for the benefit of the team, and I think this should be no different.

bottom came kept straight
I went straight to the bottom and it circled around and came back and it kept going around in circles.
attitude flashes great greatness players
He has been one of our great players this season, ... Flashes of greatness and then doing things that are not as good. But I think his attitude is exemplary. He made a mistake. He didn't get down on himself. He got back up.
