barrel tried
It was a little cutter that was up and out over the plate. I just tried to get the barrel on it and put it into play.
care coming decent outfield prepare spring training work
I don't care if it's the outfield or the infield, ... as long as I know what to prepare for. I can make myself a decent outfielder. I can already play the infield. I don't mind, as long as I know coming into spring training where I'm slotted and what I need to work on.
goes main miss needs outfield pick positions slide somebody strength three valuable
Right now, his main strength is he can play all three infield positions and two outfield positions. That's what's going to make him valuable to our team. If somebody needs a day off or goes down, he can slide right in there, pick up some at-bats and not miss a beat.
defense helping messed offense playing separate start team tough trying
Right now, I just have to separate my offense and my defense so you don't take the uncomfortableness you feel on defense out to the plate, because then I'm not helping the team at all. It's like two separate games. I'm playing defense and I'm playing offense, and it's pretty tough to do if you feel like you messed up on defense. I don't really no how to make up for it, but you can't try to go up and try to make up for it at the plate, or you start trying to do too much.
arms barrel good happen hitting looking
I had two strikes, and I'm just looking to get the barrel on it and make something happen. I was able to get my arms extended, and good things happen when you put yourself in a good hitting position.
fell finish good guy
It's like the Gatorade commercial, where the guy (marathoner) fell out right before he got to the finish line. It's not a good feeling.
game good last matter win
It's always good to win a ballgame, no matter when it is, especially our last game at home, to win it like that,
It's a business. Yeah, I've thought about it,
win won
I just look at it as a won ballgame, and I had a part in it. You don't win ballgames by yourself.

balls both good ground seems sides year
He was working both sides of the plate. He got a lot of ground balls, got what he needed. He's had a good year and it seems like he's been doing it to more than just us.
feeling good hitting safe
I think it is safe to say he was feeling pretty good about his stuff. He was hitting his spots.
average batting dictate good hit swings trying
I tell myself every night, 'The season's not over. You've got to battle,' ... You can't dictate how many RBIs you get from where you hit in the lineup, usually. But you can dictate the batting average by just having good at-bats and trying to put good swings on it.
